I used to be a full-time Woo not too long ago. After I stopped worrying about all the conspiracies out there and I started thinking for myself a little more, rather than listening to a moron like Alex Jones for my information. Although, I still cannot shake thinking up stupid little scenarios in my head like I used to. When I used to think them up I got afraid and I would start to rant on how I knew the truth and everyone else is ignorant of what is happening around them. Now when I think of them i kind of :rolleyes: then go on with my day lightly dwelling on it until the next day usually.
I guess what I am getting at with this entire thread is, does that still make me a Woo by thinking these things up still? Or, does it just mean I am still stuck on old habits that I have not broke yet?

It's called having an imagination. Everybody's got one and it's a good thing. The difference is that now, hopefully, you have the critical thinking skills to analyze what you come up with.

Well usually I think about whatever I come up with and kind of find it interesting for a little bit but I don't take it seriously.

How do you think screenwriters and authors come up with stuff? They know they're writing fiction, though - except for Dylan Avery, who either become convinced that his story was the truth, or realized there was a lot of money to be made in conspiracy peddling.

Lol, I can't believe it took a thread post for me to realise this. I should have thought this over a little harder before I posted a thread on it. Sorry about this folks!

Definition of sanity - you are sometimes insane and know it.
Definition of insanity - you do not know you are sometimes insane.
Please note everyone is in one of these two groups.

Acknowledging you have a concern about something shows introspection, and a desire to understand your own mental state - or perhaps where your thoughts come from. Applying critical thinking to your own life is seldom a bad idea. No explanation, or apology is necessary.

It's alright. I always feel like I'm being watched by somebody no matter where I am or what I'm doing. Small doses of public nudity have helped me to not care so much, but it's always in the back of my mind.
