Communication and memory for me, any ideas for improving it?
My worst issue is Memory. Delusion is next. Then Communication.
I have no issues with Attention, Noise or Reading.
Like 73% of us at the time of this writing, I voted ācommunicating.ā
One of my bosses who was a product manager basically told me that I was good with customers whether I realized it or not; and, I had about a 10 year customer service career being a good communicator; but, I canāt seem to shake the whole middle-name-bruce-occasional-temper-tantrum thing that we Bruces are famous for.

Is it weird to say delusions when you donāt know if you are delusional when it happens? Iām always feeling like thatās the hardest thing to crack.
But itās strange because Iād have trouble explaining why it seems real and why itās frustrating.
Especially if you are trying to explain it to family who just canāt understand it at all.

Perhaps, writing a journal could give you insight.
In a more lucid state write down all of your ātraditionalā delusions, so that you can refer to it and recognise the same old thing, and thus know you are delusional at that point if you start believing them again.

Well itās like ā¦ I know in the moment itās happening that itās not real is what I mean.
So I donāt think I need to do anything like journaling.
But what bothers me most is falling into the Law of Attraction stuff at times.
I mean even though I can rationalize my way out of those things - even paranoia- my state of mind itself doesnāt really change. Itās something like that that bothers me.
Itās difficult to explain but I could give examples to show why I believe that while āmanifestingā thing is real but I just rationalize against it.
Edit: I hit reply too soonā¦
I asked a ārobotā for what this was and it suggested positive thoughts and emotioms attract positive experiences etc.
I suppose to each of us there is our singular reality, so if you can keep your head up and keep positive, I canāt see much wrong with it. Whether it does or not might be a real test though.
In respect of manifesting these postive experiences into real time events, well maybe it is just a coincidence.
A scientist might have real doubts about it too though.
In regards to this, are you implying that your natural state of mind is always based on the illusory and although you rationalize your way out of it, you always return to the illusory?
If that is the case then you may need to re-evaluate the illusory beliefs at source, by identifying where you get this all from.
For example, today on the tele there was a animated movie called āTad the lost explorer-curse of the mummyā and I had it on in the background. It was all about the occult and imaginary supernatural forces and although aimed at kids and not scary or anything; it made me think of how this type of thing indoctrinates kids into such imaginary beliefs.
Harmless fun, most parents would think but still this is how this sort of thing starts. All imaginary and illusory nonsense deeply inset into a gullible and still forming brain; and so the cycle continues.
Grown adults indoctrinated into illusory beliefs unknowingly and when the mnid goes wrong, like sz then the mind falls deeper into the illusory and imaginary and no one knows when or how these ideas originate.
Look at these things. Give up all the illusory. Live realisticallym empiracally or even scientifically and laugh at these things.
Someone, somenwhere made it all up!
The thing is that people enjoy living in the illusory, but wirth sz it can really be undermining.
Memory and reading. I havenāt read a book in 17 years. I can barely read a newspaper article. I hate it. Reading used to be my favourite hobby.
Well no itās not the oogeybogey woowoo stuff Iām talking about that I fall into.
Itās the Truman show esque thing but - Iād have to give examples.
I donāt like it because its like falling into some delusional state that feels very real.
Iād have to give examples to really explain how I can rationalize even though I know it isnāt real.
I have had hallucinations though from high stress and no sleep and similarly I can recognize itās happening to kind of snap out of it but itās - again - hard to explain.
But the LoA stuff I want to discuss more deeply because I canāt not see it as delusional and promoting psychosis and want to advise people away. Yet, I can understand there might be a temporary need to use it to help reduce our stress or pain.
I might have to discuss the LoA thing elsewhere but the questions I have regarding it would involve politics - or if itās some ultimate way around them - which no one seems to give any clear answers for me to determine indefinitely.

Thought is the enemy my friend.
Rabbit holes upon galactic worm holesā¦
The more you ruminate the worse it gets.
The mind can deceive and self project everything and anything. and it is simply built upon your experiences or what soemone else told you. At the end of the day we parrot what came before.
We build further into our confusion marvellous philosophies.
Just live, be and do. Donāt think about it; and be in the ever present is my advice.
Hope it helps.
