>>11815858Like in a schizo way? No, not since I was very young and believed that someone could be remotely reading my thoughts.
But sometimes I kinda simulate being watched. I'll play music a certain person would like (even if I never met them, like a historical figure), or lay out my argument about something as if giving a talk on stage. I don't actually believe there are observers, it's just a kind of a way to flesh things out in my own head. I can make mistakes and revert to an earlier time to restate things, or completely change my own mind on an idea. Thinking about critical observers helps to keep me from wandering off the topic, or handwaving past weak points. It can be a fun way to productively reflect.
