Does anyone else sometimes go full autopilot when those random permission pop-ups appear? — Like “Do you allow access to…?” - and before your brain even loads, your finger has already tapped Allow or Deny 😭 And then 5 seconds later it hits you: “…wait, what did I just agree to?” Or even w…
I figured anyone mentioning it would get downvoted, but I second the use of ChatGPT and other AI tools. I did a couple years of weekly therapy but it was getting too expensive. Now I use a combination…
If you do experiential therapy and work through developmental trauma / relational trauma / CPTSD followed by repatterning, your autopilot reaction will organically become healthier and balanced.
This is straight facts. Most people in the world don’t believe in these teachings or any New Thought principles. They’re on autopilot, brainwashed, kissing others asses, blinded or too closed-minded t…
This is pure bullshit to the tenth power and weak minds will eat this up and wonder why their life is fucked lmao. Thoughts don’t magically bend reality but your beliefs, focus and mindset shape how y…
I’m a year late but let’s be real, this is facts. The people bashing manifestation or New Thought teachings are just mad it didn’t work for them. They got half-baked info off TikTok or Abraham Hicks, …

Unless you had an in-depth discussion prior to the date, I wouldn’t do it, because the chances of picking the wrong one (too boring to either one of you or too interesting for either one of you). An …
It’s such a drastic difference between the version of me that watched porn and the version of me that doesn’t. The best way to describe the difference is that I’m basically fully aware and conscious o…
I think the mechanism people are describing is real but the framing is a little off. We dont grow INTO our Ascendant - we grow into actually owning it. Before your Saturn Return your rising sign is ki…
Yea it’s easy to be seduced by the illusion over and over again but I love that. I like that the “autopilot” works and whenever something is misaligned with my ideal reality I just examine my thought…
This is actually a recognized phase that a lot of meditators go through. There's even a name for it in contemplative traditions, but from a psychological angle what's happening is pretty straightforwa…

One thing that helped me break similar loops was changing the first 30 minutes of the day so the trigger never starts. Even something simple like leaving the house for a short walk, studying at a cafe…
I have no continuous memory. I have what I call "flashes" or "bubbles" of events, etc. I can sometimes remember how old I was in a memory, and that helps me determine the year. I can sometimes remembe…
Honestly at the time thats how I felt. Im still pushing away that belief. Not because I truly believe it but some how its what ive observed oddly haha. I posted about it before how im confused stuff i…
Self discovery is not always good news. Awareness and awakening can come with the difficulty of seeing things as they truly are, positive/neutral/negative. Also coming to the understanding that you tr…
You know what's funny? The more that I read into this and the more posts I see on here, the more I see that cheaters follow a pattern. The ego and the narcissism to think that we, the betrayed, are so…
And when you try to explain, do you know or can recognize if people ate triggered? Because I know for myself that I’m an amazing listener if not triggered, but if triggered, my emotional capacity redu…

That first sober social event is genuinely one of the harder things. You realize how much of your social autopilot was running on alcohol, and suddenly you're just... there, fully present, with nowher…
Don’t listen to any of theses terribly ignorant statements. I’m quite a bit older. I’ve been around the bush and have experienced a lot in my life and you are correct in finding this v suspicious beca…
Friend, I want to gently challenge one assumption hiding inside your post. You’re acting like life is a race where everyone starts at the same time and whoever crosses the checkpoints first wins. But…
For me, in no particular order - 1) whatever the thing is, focus more effort on doing than thinking about doing. Those of us with depression waste a lot, and I do mean a lot of energy that we could …
A 1-degree orb on a fixed T-square is about as tight as it gets. That means the tension between those three planets is not background noise, it is one of the loudest patterns in your chart. You probab…
Chemistry 🧪 sex will come on autopilot lol 🤣
Every single one of your points could be an avoidant, and that does not make them a narcissist. Intent behind their actions needs to be known. Avoidants are heavily traumatized, their parents showed t…
Dude from the bottom of my heart... This deeply saddens me. I can literally feel the pain in your writing, the headspace your in, the chaos in your head you deal with on a day to day, you having grown…
Stop using AI! It’s already being proven to cause cognitive atrophy and decline. It affects decision making too. Try to stop doomscrolling as that’s also being shown to cause cognitive decline and a…
Yes. You have all the power. They said you can use the same protection/armor that I use, because it's universal and very effective. I've never had a problem, since I started doing these. ## 1. Fo…
>One of the things that makes me the angriest about my upbringing is that I never developed a sense of agency, or the understanding that you can make things happen, that you can actively participate i…
I tend to have repetitive thoughts/rumination, where the same thoughts take up your mind over and over and over again. Meditationhelped me realise when I enter such state and gave me tools (breathing)…

My first wife developed a pretty bad mental illness. We fought through it for years until she started to become violent and I decided that was the end of the road. I got married again because I foun…

I would rerame the question slightly. Saturn does not dislike Aries. It just cannot operate on autopilot there. In domicile or exaltation, a planet runs smoothly without much conscious effort. In fall…
"I'm sorry for how she treated you. I think people often don’t realize how deep and long-lasting the impact can be, how it can quietly spread through your life, almost like a cancer. Without realising…
the app thing can help but honestly the bigger issue is the transition from school/sports to home. thats where the doomscrolling kicks in because your brain goes from structured to zero structure and …
I’ve always known that I was some degree of demisexual - even before I knew there was a word for it - so maybe that’s why I had no problem shutting that off when I was actually around her. When your …
You literally just said “hey pay attention to all the things your subconscious mind does on autopilot and manifest from there” no, the best time to access the subconscious mind is right before bed whe…
I feel like a machine sometimes. I call it autopilot mode. It sucks, feeling like you're not quite the same.
Just know that “you are not” the problem and that if there is anything that you do not want to do that is also not a problem and if there is something that you do not want to do “now” that is also not…
I love that you framed it as “self-improvement without self-measurement is just storytelling.” That’s exactly how it feels. I used to brag about all my morning routine achievements, but when I logged …
Exactly. I think measuring & tracking is one of the best ways to stay honest with yourself. "Autopilot life" is a great way to put it. That's exactly what the unaccounted hours are - not laziness, n…
detoxing is exactly the right word for it honestly. like the brain just keeps reaching for something that's not there anymore and getting confused when it finds nothing i think that's what makes it s…
💞Beautiful awareness! 💞 No thoughts? OR... running on autopilot???It's more likely that you're simply not paying attention, in the moment, and miss the warm up prior to the snap. I invite you to tu…
For me, health issues popped up intermittently. Had to get operated at the start of mars ad. Ended up blocking most of my extended family. Been very average education and career wise. Stagnancy. No gr…
Going through this myself and being in couples therapy, the whole nine, truly makes me realize just how little communication really happens in relationships - all types of relationships! And how littl…
He knew she was naked, but that doesn’t mean he fully processed what he was doing in the moment. People act on autopilot all the time (similar to implicit bias as a reference) where they’re not intend…
The next time someone that you know is having a headache, ask them whether they know with absolute certainty that its not an aneurism. The answer: they don't know. The difference between them and us …
