For it to be a complex my inference has to be incorrect and come from a place of lacking superiority. And yet not a single point I've made has been refuted. No, I'm just superior and have the ego to acknowledge that and the literary capacity to do it with airs.

You've also mistaken being empathetic with sympathetic and I've explained why I'm not the latter in several other messages including the one you just replied to. How can I not feel superior when every respondant has the reading comprehension of a 6 year old.

I don't disagree with any of that. But if someone wants to take steps to not being afflicted by their own thoughts you might think it appropriate to listen to those with the experience and skill to not be afflicted by their own thoughts.

No one here has any interest in changing their thinking to improve their capacity to enjoy life, they all want to bitch that I have no idea what I'm talking about, despite apparently being the only one here with a legitimate capacity to not be disturbed by my own internal monologue, and wallow in their shared failure to have emotional control over themselves.

Cool story, glad your shared experiences are the only valid ones because it involves suffering.

I wish it were so few.

I understand it perfectly, this is a philosophical perspective not a medical one. My understanding of the term as used in medicine does not differ from yours.

The question is how does that change what a phobia is? Are you not aware how phobias work and are defined as according to medical literature? My statement is correct. If you have an issue with any of my other statements, reply to them directly.

I am a condescending pompous arse, an ego earned by being correct. I'm empathetic, but I'm not sympathetic to those who would ignore a way of thinking that is not afflicted by the same weakness as their own. And my apologies are entirely genuine and your disbelief has no bearing on that reality it just makes you look more the fool you choose to be if a little pomposity is all that's required to keep you from knowledge and comprehension.

and yet you're here

Their position is no different to any destitute citizen, raise them all together.

...or is that raze them all together...

I can't remember, is Authoritarianism heads? Or tails?

Yes. It's basically a rephrasing of the OP which also intentionally didn't use the words 'intrusive thoughts'. I'm a master at being downvoted by people who have already agreed with what I'm saying, but lack the capacity to realise it.

If everyone has them it's not a phobia, it's a condition of consciousness. The phobia is being irrationally afraid of your perfectly normal condition. Which if you think you're own thoughts are intruding on you, you may have.

We still have Australia day on invasion day, there's a decent push to change it, but the general concensus is problems of the past belong to people of the past and you can't rectify permanent history by creating new inequalities when there's a percentage of the entire population that still struggle with necessities.

Sorry for the mini-rant. I’ve enjoyed our conversation.

No need to apologise, the opportunity to feel comprehended has been far more valuable than you might realise.

I might have trouble relating and connecting on an emotional level but my belligerence to be understood is limitless. Gets me in trouble because most people feel instead of comprehend and that's just not logical.

One of the feelings I hate the most is the feeling you get when you know someone agrees with you they just lack the capacity to know why. It's the bane of my existance.

Lol. Guess it's my turn to apologise for the rant.

I’d perhaps liken it more to jumping in the water to save someone who’s drowning.

Thank you, that's an anology I can work with.

No matter how rational a person is, emotion and subconscious reactions can override all of that.

I wish that was the case. I'm diagnosed as high functioning autistic presenting, 100% autism free, but my natural capacity for logic obliterated my emotional development. I can and do functionally parse all my emotional thought through logic. This is my weakness and my strength.

I'm not unaware that my approaches are often mistaken for dismissal or ignorance of people's feelings, because they are, but they're also the tools that emotional people need to temper their emotions.

I don't lack empathy, I lack the tools to express it, work in progress.

These people are at the bottom of the well and I don't have a rope, but that's not going to stop me jumping in to try save them, even if I do drown every time until I get one. I just hope I can teach some of them to climb without the rope even though they feel like they need it.

I can't help, so let me help you help yourself.

My stream of consciousness picks things up, not has things fall into it.

It's a matter of perspective.

I imagine you believe that.

You lack an adequate understanding of the concept of belligerence.

You can't not have them because they are you.

Any you're right, we all have our failings. Mine is an incapacity to enjoy seeing people afflicted by their mental anguish when I feel like adjusting their perspective to fit mine is what gives me the ability to control myself.

This results in me being unable to sympathise with those people despite empathising with them because it makes me feel like they're actively rejecting one of those tools that will get them where they need to be.

Like being thrown a rope when you're stuck in the well, if you reject the rope what is the person up top supposed to think?

Well I'm all those things too, just not stupid.

It's been fun devolving to belligerent banter but if you ever want to improve your cognition regarding the actual topic and my position on it I'll be glad to respond to any questions you might posture in that exercise in self development.
