so it came up that i see that i often dont want to look at others or be open to them and i mean why do i do that, i mean is it that i do that because i am actually hiding from myself thinking in that moment that we are not equals. this brings me to consider that it may be that what is real is the connections with others and being ooen to others, which actually means vulnerability, and not isolating myself drowning in my own mind. i mean it seems to make sense to say that the mind as the eho in order to survive would want to prevent me from being .ore open and vulnerable in connecting with others because that would mean and or represent and in fact be a connection to reality (and reality is what the mind has to disconnect me from in order for it to survive as it keeps me trapped in these alternate realities as i drown in my head where i dont see a way out - as all these inner conflicts and judgments and fear and insecurities about the wcternal world or somwthing like that. it needs to keep me isolated feeding all these paranoias instead of connecting with reality and thus breaking out of the illusiin of paranoia). ...and so i would remain isolated trapped within the paranoias that separate me feom myself through separating me feom others as my connections to reality as myself; i mean that ive been trapped in all these paranoias and reasons for why i reason thay i cannot really truly connect with anyone, that i cant be vulnerable because of this or that, inventing/making up all these reasons and stories as beliefs in my head to justify why i cant get out of this isolation, and all the while its all an illusion. for example that ill be judged or attacked or not understood or rejected or etc. i mean, it makes sense to say that i cant trust all that shit comming up in my head. i mean, there exists people all around me and i even live with a few, yet i would make up all these reasons as illusions for why i cant walk out of my isolation prison cell even through there is not any lock or key. reasons as illusions as paranoias such for example what if this or that happens, when fear is the greatest illusion.
....and again this point of being clossed off, where i am not open to talk with people, where i dont want to look at other people in the face, where i always have reasons for why i cant simply interact and socialize with others, that apparently it would be meaningless yet i realize that i am yhe one that is making it meaningless by remaining trapped in between ng closed off and hidding instead of being open and vulnerable. i mean they are opportunities to discover and connect with reality and others will even offer me to go sovialize with them or even if i do go out with others ill be all distant and crap. i realize this is bullshit, that closing myself off is bullshit. and of it feels meaningless its because i am closing myself off and then even inflating my ego thinking im superior or inferior,...both are bullshit. i really allowed myself to create all these reasons for why i couldnt integrate into the social life. all this crap that i am to messed up of a person, all bullshit. ....so this point came up right now as i was watching a video of a guy who is doing pranks on people in the mall by going up to them like all awkwardly and wierd and staring to talk to them and i saw how peoples reactions were that they would completely close off, for example some guy is sitting down and when he goes up to him the guys just starts snaying "excuse me" like an indirect way of saying to fyck off and just reactions like that and i was like wtf thats fucked up that the people close themselves off like that, like thats how yhe people who control the world want to have us. i mean why this distant attitude like saying screw u i am not going to embrace you because u are not important kind of thing. and i realized i am doing the same when i make excuses to be closed off to pretty mucj anyone really. so the correction here seems pretty simple, which is to use as in take advantage of my opportunities to socialize to be more open and vulnerable. that if the interactions seem meaningless or pointless it is because i am making it that way be closing off where what i am actually doing is closing myself off from a part of myself that i am resisting because i am judging it.
...and what comes up in my mi d is that i have to be careful though to be vulnerable only with people i can trust, and perhaps that might make some sense but then again perhaps not because why not be vuonerable with everyone, i mean why hide, what am i scared of, isnt that existing within judgment as paranoia.?....i mean, theres never a truly valid reason to close oneselff off is there? is it not always just out of ego?...and now im wondering if being open instead of closing off as how i have mentioned and described it here is the equivalent to as they say to open my heart, to be vulnerable and open?
