after the reply to schrodinger's cat zombie, something i didn't understand properly during my experience was how the "mirroring"-like experiences / facebook-likes would seem to read my thoughts i imagine that by exposing somebody to a lot of intense things and seeing what tweaks them, one can form a model of somebody's thoughts. in my experience it went a bit beyond this and i learned to have this bad alter that reported to them and did other things. it's quite hard to explain. and my explanation may quite be wrong, it may be more clear if it is removed above. but because i learned to respond to things that are in my thoughts, things that are private become public [in both directions, what i say, and what others say to me from the [thing]] it's hard to say.
