Lost_All_Senses 06/18/22 12:21:15 PM #10:	Philosophy and psychology is my favorite stuff to ponder. What's weird tho is that it leads me to deconstruct things Im genuine about and see ways they could be seen as manipulative. But then, changing my actions that don't hurt anyone just cause they could be perceived as manipulative would actually be me not being my genuine self.
