Your Mind Is Lying to You
i was having a shower and started singing “iam the best iam the best” but i noticed somewhere in my mind i was saying “iam the worst” i dont know its possibility of existence and what it is called, so i hurried up like a starving person about to eat in order to look whats it called, turns out it is called cognitive dissonance never heard this thing ever, not ever gonna hear again, why asking chatgpt all my symptoms, you might have had a fever and researched it and finally every symptom of yours pointed cancer. there is also a chance of symptoms manifesting due to your anxious thoughts yes its called somatic symptom disorder, it is the manifestation of one or more physical symptoms accompanied by excessive thought, emotion which causes distress, a 19 year old student felt a mild headache one evening and searched his symptoms online using chat gpt later he convinced that it was a serious issue, took many reports everything came normal, see its a typical case of ssd. but the real problem isn’t the headache, it’s what happened after. one small symptom → search → fear → more symptoms → more search. the mind is not trying to understand, it’s trying to confirm the worst case. same thing with that “iam the best” and “iam the worst” moment. your brain is not one single voice, it runs opposite thoughts at the same time. one builds you, one doubts you. you just happened to notice both together. it feels deep, rare, dangerous — but it’s actually normal. the mistake is not the thought, it’s believing every thought.
