for a lot of my life, when I have to make a moral decision, I pretend I'm on a Truman Show so that I feel like people are watching me make my choice.
during lockdown, my brain went a little wild with it. I didn't believe I was on a Truman show, but it decided to play how along as if I were. I was explaining things I did out loud even though there was nobody in the house, if I thought they looked weird, stuff like that. I was worried that I was tipping into some sort of maladaptive daydreaming but it receded
People would yell impatiently at the screen so often they'd get a hernia and sue the show's producers for injury.
"Jesus christ you are sitting uncomfortably and you are thirsty and need to pee you KNOW it so don't fucking sit on the sofa staring at the clock for fifteen fucking minutes again I swear to god I can see on your FACE that you are not relaxing"
People would think the scenario is a bit contrived and they wouldn't believe is wasn't scenarized.
I have a tendency to do the things that will save a desperate situation but also (mostly) create stupid obstacles out of nowhere. Basically 'this guy' from an xkcd strip
