Where does the next feeling begin?
Take a look inside yourself, try to feel it.
Some begin in your leg.
Some in your belly.
Where does the next feeling begin?
Follow it through your whole body.
We start low, and then it moves upward.

We humans are made of energy.
So when you look at yourself, it's energy * energy.
Therefore, you also get energy in between – and the inside of your body becomes temporarily visible.

What It's Like to Be an Emotional Guy

Imagine you see me on the street. Something small happens in traffic. I end up in a fight with someone, with potentially serious consequences.

From your point of view, this might seem ridiculous and childish. And it is — on the surface, not much is going on. But for me, this is a reality I live in every single second.

What you don’t see is that this is step 10,000. The 9,999 steps before this, I was already holding in my emotions. I was trying to guard my boundaries — and yours. And in that process, you crossed mine too, without even realizing it.

I already wanted to fight and cry from the very beginning. Cry at every song I hear. But I can’t — because we live in a society where that’s not tolerated at work. And because of that, the rest of society ends up crossing my boundaries too.

Emotional people often have a bad reputation.
But what you don’t see is this: emotional people are already suppressing things 24/7.
It’s not that anger just comes out of nowhere. It builds up for weeks and weeks—weeks in which I literally try not to attack people on the street or smack my colleagues because they’re so f-ing slow.

From your perspective, that might look childish.
But from my perspective, I have to slow down every single step because you people are so slow.
There are people who could do an eight-hour office job in five minutes, with the same results. Really.

Why You Should Treat Psychiatric Patients as Normal People
I have been a psychiatric patient for a few years—psychosis, GAD, ADHD, autism. I’ve been picked up in a van, so to speak.

But I’ve been ‘normal’ for a couple of years now. I have a good job, I’m in good shape, and I feel happy and balanced overall.

I think we make some fundamental mistakes when it comes to psychiatric care.

Treating someone as if they are their illness is always a bad idea. When you look at someone as if they are a disease, that person will often start to behave a little like that too. If someone simply sees you as normal, that’s the best strategy.

We Don’t Know Anything About How the World Works

This is counterintuitive, and every generation makes the same mistake — thinking that we know a lot. We don’t. We know less than a percent of a percent of a percent.
When we look at previous generations, those people seem stupid compared to us. But it doesn’t work that way.

The point is not really whether evolution is true or not

The problem is that evolution, as a theory, is often far too superficial. It overvalues what can be observed from the outside, and undervalues internal choice.

Take the example: animals with big horns survive. This is an external, surface-level observation.

What you don’t see:

• All the internal choices animals make—whether they want to reproduce or not.

• The bias toward generational evolution: we overvalue animals and undervalue plants, for instance.

You could even argue that if a human eats a lot of bread in one day, they temporarily evolve into wheat—just for that day. That’s still a form of evolution, just on a different timescale.

Measuring evolution only from generation to generation is already arbitrary. Everything is constantly changing, all the time.
