Mental Distortions — Monday, June 04, 2007
There are things in life, that are true to me. I know they are true, because I've seen it, done it, experinced it. These truths, for some people don't exist. They haven't seen it or done it, or experienced it. So they say stuff like " No, that can't happen. That didn't happen. " or other similar thiangs. I have this distorted view. I go on things that know because they happened to me, rather than what actually happens. So that is basicly saying' those the things I know from experience aren't really true, because they really didn't happen?
So my answeres to reflect what I know from experience. That's what I trust. that's what I know without a doubt, because I been there, done that. However, I should trust what someone is telling mein a book, over what I know. ( Atleast if I want to do well on my tests. ) It sounds easy, - pander for success. It about completly invalidates my existance though. If I don't exist, what am I doing taking tests in the first place?
There's things that happen to me, but more often around me, that out of the ordinary. Weird shit happens. Like, there's people who say that it's vary rarely.... Well, 1- it's not that often people tell 1sgts from other posts that it looks like they are sucking up to the b.c. ( brigade commander, the guy with the bird on his head ) And then it's even more out of the ordinary to not be a private for 6months or more after that. One rank was taken from me for a couple weeks, and I nad 10 days extra duty and restriction, ( I could have only had 9, but I volunteered and extra day, probably to piss somone off. ) They basicly FORCED me to have my rank back after that. That's just one example of the un-ordinary things that happen to me. The un-ordinary has kinda become not so un-ordinary to me. That probably has a role in why my thinking is a little different from most other people's. And that "distorted" thinking may have something to do with the continuance of odd things happening to, or around me.
