I also find it really easy to get caught up in thought patterns and lost in my own head - it's not productive or pleasant - the cephalopods sound like a much better option Datura.I certainly can be, but am trying not to be as my own thoughts regarding myself are rather destructive.
I prefer to obsess over other things, like cephalopods, evolution, or retro game emulation.
i am ego centric,meaning my mind is based around my own thoughts and wants/needs so forth,but that is less because of being egotistical and more because i have quite severe classic autism and live in my own world most the time.
ever since i started retaining memories as a toddler,i grew up mostly unaware of other people,they were part of the background,and they are all generic lumps of flesh to me-i do not get impulses to go and interact with them i interact with my own world,so of course i am going to be ego centric,but i do not think i am better or deserve more than other people.
because of the way i have experienced life,i have to base my views on my own experiences and go from there otherwise i wouldnt understand,so it can look a bit ego-ey,but its just how my autism makes my brain work around other people.
I've been called self centred but not in a bad way, which is probably accurate.
I'm not egotistical in that I don't care more about my own pleasure that other people, but I think I am a bit wrapped up in my own experience.
I'm a mystery to myself a lot of the time, and i do like a good mystery.
