Patients say the government, their ex, etc are "stealing their thoughts." Idk if it's a disorganized way of saying they're reading their thoughts. I do know thought blocking is a thing so maybe they're attributing that to the process of having their mind read? Idk but thought withdrawal is a common enough delusion that it's an option on some assessment forms. Idk either man the mere concept of the sensation is almost entirely alien to me as well.
well the interesting thing is that it actually CAN happen, it's just extremely rare and is almost always related to prejudice in some way (somebody non-white or a gay couple move to a conservative rural community) or domestic violence on the part of someone powerful enough to have lackeys (or peers, like a cop and their coworkers). The church of scientology has also been known to use gangstalking against people who speak out. But no the goverment isn't stalking random people because they're telepathic (my brother-in-law's delusion).

would never have guessed the make I just knew they were all cars.
As a psych nurse stealing thoughts is a symptom I've always struggled to comprehend. It happens at the right frequency that I'm sure it's real (often enough in different people, but not often enough that they would have met to copy each other). But it's also such a bizarre concept that I can't imagine perceiving it happen. I can picture being so scared you think you're being watched all the time and plotted against, and I can imagine seeing, hearing, or even feeling and smelling things that aren't there. But thought stealing has to be a completely surreal sensation that I am entirely unfamiliar with.

When I get the rainbow herring I feel like I got a secret fifth category.
And they email you every time one of the people in the delivery chain sneezes and there's no way to stop them from doing that without disabling the notifications entirely like jfc just tell me when it gets here!
Oooh yeah I have the opposite problem yeah. My EMDR therapist says I need a happy memory before we can proceed and it's the hardest part so far.
No that's a geometric shape, this is a roomie.
Nah I was raised female and legit had friends like this some women (as with men) just never grow up. On a very tangentially related note I've been reflecting recently on the very primal attractiveness of a man who is visibly strong and horny enough to fuck me up but who is also visibly restraining themselves. The testosterone + self control combo is just an immediate vagina geyser.
how about a hitachi and a speedball
it turns out 90% of magic is just creatively hiding your work through misdirection or extensive prepwork and the other 10% is straight luck.
Reminiscent / a version of Yaldabaoth / Chnoubis "The Demiurge"
Note: Also reminiscent of another thing.

I made a blender model and animation of this thing I experienced to show how it looks like and moves, and to use that as a way to find out if someone knows what it is, where or why. I don't know much more and am wondering what others know based on their encounters. It's somewhere at some time, seems huge. The discs are flattish and don't reflect light other than from the edges. I've tried posting in a few communities and get mostly aggravated answers, or overtly focusing on how I got this knowledge (almost like I've done something forbidden when it's not an aspect I care about), and one got modded hidden.
It's ok like half the techs I've worked with have bachelor's in Psych and still barely know what schizophrenia is. The academic degree apparently translates very poorly to clinical work. I've got a fucking associates but apparently nursing school is just way more rigorous for less years.
