Report Copyright Violation Does anyone else feel like you are talking to cavemen when you are out in the real world? I just got back from the bar and all I saw around me was primitive consciousness. All the conversations revolved around sex, alcohol, and tribal rituals (sports). I almost feel like an alien when I talk to old friends or strangers. I meditate and spend a lot of time in deep thought and when I am around a group of people, it's almost like I can predict their thoughts and feelings. I just try to pretend like I care about trivial matters that effect them, but it's almost impossible for me to involve myself in their lives because I can see the outcome of all their relationships and actions. It's a very detached and lonely existence, but I'm not sure what to do about it. It's like I am an observer and operating at a level above 3d reality.



Anyone else feel this way?

I feel extremely detached from most. Their tone and content of conversation literally makes me drift off and micro-think about something else. It's like having an out of body experience.



I can't do small-talk. It's just impossible. Most people I'm around seem to be on a different frequency than I.

I'm not saying theirs is a lower frequency only, a different one. They talk about idle nonsense. Nothing deep or thought provoking.



I am tuned into nature, animals, flowers, trees, water, insect and birds. I connect with that because somehow, I get where those elements are coming from whereas I don't get most people.



So OP, you're totally not alone. I definitely feel alone most of the time but being with others is an even lonelier because I feel like a fortunate outcast.

A single photo proves it all went down the way the MSM said it did. The public mind acts and thinks exactly the way the television tells them to.

Well said. I tried debating the Osama death with a group of people. Saying maybe its all BS and Osama has been dead for awhile now. They countered by referring to this photo as proof: [ link to img844.imageshack.us A single photo proves it all went down the way the MSM said it did.

I don't feel motivated to talk with family or old friends or go out. Have wondered if I am depressed....but I don't think so. I just have stopped connecting to people around me. Weird, as I was always a very social person. I just am not interested in the conversations people have. They seem trivial. I feel like people are staying in their own delusional realities instead of acknowledging what is really going on around us.

Exactly. It's like nothing is even real anymore. I try to talk to people and they are texting or on facebook. We are so totally disconnected with the natural world, each other, and the present. Being around people has become very difficult lately and I find myself wanting to be by myself almost all the time.

Everything is so goddamn fake nowadays. Fake jobs that provide nothing of real value, fake food that provide no nutrition, and fake relationships that don't mean shit. No one gives a fuck about each other anymore. Nothing even matters except instant gratification. I'm seriously about done with this world. Exactly. It's like nothing is even real anymore.

Report Copyright Violation Re: Does anyone else feel like you are talking to cavemen when you are out in the real world? Nice post. I am in the exact same position. I have always been shy and independent but waking up to reality and the crap going on the world made me more isolated and can't stand the stupid and meaningless conversations with people. It is so painful being around them and hear them talk about the most unimportant things. I can't even stand being out in public much anymore seeing all the wannabes trying to act cool and consuming worthless crap.



It's amazing how dumbed down our society is. They have no clue what's coming and when it does come, they will be so shocked. I have been shocked finding out the truth gradually over the last 2 years. When these people find out it will be utter chaos. Get ready for the zombies to awaken.

They have nothing interesting to talk about beyond the latest pop culture shit. They watch Jersey Shore. They love stupid action films and raunchy comedies. Everything in their lives revolves around the most primitive activities - sex, getting stoned, going to bars, etc. They sit in class with their Starbucks cups and blank stares and I want to scream.



I'm friends with a couple of the more intelligent ones, but it's so depressing.



I spend most of my time at home, reading. It's far more enjoyable than attempting to socialize.

Hollow shells of people with no true sense of worth. Following music videos and TV shows for role models. It is so easy to be blind and complacent in America, I don't know if we can be saved.

Example (bear with me): I drove through Wendy's and got chicken nuggets, and two plain burgers. My mother said "Why didn't you get Dad's with cheese?" I thought about it and said "Because I didn't think they could get the order right if both burgers weren't the same." Then it hit me, I'm actually changing my habits to accommodate these people.



And it's not just Wendy's employees of course - it's doctors, nuclear power plant operators, air traffic controllers, quality control at pharmaceutical companies, food packaging employees, my fellow employees and millions of others. That's SCARY.

I used to feel bitter about it, and could not understand why most people were apparently incapable or just uninterested in pursuing more "profound" states of consciousness. Somewhere along the lines I realized this is simply (and obviously) what is to be the case for now -- I am in no position to judge whether people should be how they are now or how many of us on this thread are now. This awareness brought me peace, such that when amongst the people now, or even when alone, I feel neither lonely nor with company.
