I never think and when I think they’re not my thoughts
nor my actions when I act

No such thing as free will, although stating this has got me into trouble before.

I decided I was going to work with my doctors and recover from SZ and I did. Not completely covered, but things are well managed. I’ve noticed those with crap attitudes generally tend to live crap lives.

I think that we feel like we have free will but really we don’t. because there are so many things, genetics, environment, past experiences, intrinsic motivation etc. that shapes our brains to make decisions based on all of that so we are chained to everything, or shall I say linked to everything in some way to give a certain response. me going out to eat ice cream in a mo is not free will. I can’t stop myself from that unless the environment had a strong enough influence to stop me. that just is the way it is, it is what it is.

Our free will bumps up against the free will of so many others. You need to learn to maximize what you can do in the space you have.

thanks, I will try…I will try very hard to keep pushing myself harder
Where does positive attitude come from? It’s a part of your character, which is determined by past experience and genetics.
“Intentional” actions are merely actions with a feeling/sense of will applied to them.
With schizophrenia I lost the feeling of intent/will; now it feels like my body is moving on its own all the time, including writing this text. It’s not a delusional feeling, it’s a lack of feeling of intent. On a few occasions my schizophrenia has made me feel like I did something, while I actually didn’t (they were some strange things I would never do). This is how I realized that free will is merely a feeling.

I feel like I am being played by a kid on his super computer.
Something like that.
My feelings are not mine.
My actions, my thoughts, not mine

I am the unaffected witness of all, subject, not object of the mind
I am a puppet in someone else’s hands
The chess piece in someone else’s hands
I feel like in the case of someone else manipulating me it would mean nothing, like a zero in the left.
There are plenty of people more worth manipulating than me.
@Om_Sadasiva seems to have a crap attitude too.
Not sure. Seems like you obsess about such things. I guess the schizophrenia brings it out and makes you and I uncomfortable.
I used to identifiy as a compatibalist because of many worlds theory. I just don’t know. I don’t think everyone has the same level of free will since from my perspective I’m in a loop and only a few people’s behavior changes like mine. You have to dig deep to see it. I also believe we live in a simulation. That and I think we could have free will or not depending on the simulators’ choice.

I feel the same way.
i try to stay away from people with bad influence,
And i Think about ignore them all the time.
But then i meet them, i dont ignore them
And i start talking to them again and after i cant understand why it happent.
And i feel i have multi personalities.
Its like i cant have any goals.
They also try to make me Fall in love with strangers, that im not really attracted to.
But its good that you are aware, i Think they try to kill other people trough others. Thats why some schizophrenics kills and they are not aware that they are controlled, i belive its some kind of demon/spirit possession!!!
