Ever since i've started smoking weed, i've begun questioning the ethics of my everyday decisions.

AND IT'S SCARING THE ****ING SHIT OUT OF ME!

Why is this happening? Why can't I just live life, care free. Why must I question the reasons and morality of everything I do, and of everything I could do????

:(

Shouldn't it be... the opposite way?

And its good to do that. I do. It also tends you drive you insane.

I agree.

You can't believe how scarry it is to think to yourself, what if the choices i've casually glanced over these past 15 years are really setting me up for failure? Is my life just circling the drain?

I've begun to question things as simple as statements i've made to people. Was I just trying to weasel my way out of a situation? Did I just bullshit myself out of something that should have been a genuine struggle? Is that ok? Am I just ruining my personal character? How are my future acquantances going to react to my personality? Will they find me tainted? Do people trust me?

Why did I just say that? Am I hurting people with statements like that? Should I risk changing my personality, and thusly who I am? Or if I was to change, would it be for the better?

Is it ok that I find consolance in an online forum, with responses from people I don't even know?

Oh man...

Thank you for that. I'm glad to know there's a word to describe the feeling.

Was getting scared for a while that something was wrong with me, and that nobody else ever has feelings like this.

It's true though, before I started toking, my life was care free as ****ing hell. I would do things without thinking twice about why I did it, or whether or not it was ok if I did it.

When I first looked back, I thought that was (the carefreeness) how a human being was SUPPOSED to feel (before you made that instrospection post).

When I started smoking, at first things were just like normal, but now i've begun to, as formentioned, question the ethics of everything I do, and it's definetly something to do with the weed. It's hard to explain, but I can tell you that it has something to do with the weed.
 
are you kidding? I knew exactly what you were talking about the instant i read it. it's part of getting older. also, have fun. i'm about two years older than you and i'm still going through it, with no end in sight :) but i like it

I'm an edit whore D:

I tend to find myself leaning towards the "what i've been doing for all these years is bad" side, I think that's why it's been (and still is) scaring me shitless.

It's especially annoying, when you're placed in a social situation, and rather than "socialize", you find yourself stuck just trying to analyze everything.

Its a good thing.

Unless you question yourself so much you end up depressed and suicidal, believing that you never do anything wrong. So its important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and that you should learn from them and move on.
 
past is irrelevant, sinkoman.

future matters. present forth!
 
I've been thinking thoughts like that since I was like 13. Believe me, they're not a harbinger of doom, they just make you pay attention.

Why is that bad?

Means what comes out of your mouth is actually intelligent. Too many people open their mouths and spew forth whatever is there.
 
Overthinking everything can really make things seem worse than they are. But if you end up finding out there's something about yourself you don't like, you can change it and move on. I like to think that everything works out in the end. Usually things do :). Cheer up, you'll be fine.
 
Well, stop smoking weed. Problem solved.
 
*shrugs* I think like that all the time >_>
 
I think that thought is called 'guilt'.....
 
15357, you'd understand if you were human.
 
What? I meant that questioning morality is called guilt.....
 
manual labor always keeps my mind off of stuff - go work on a farm
 
Are your family prone to Schizophrenia?

If so, Weed's a trigger for you getting that.

Fixed. Oh, and that has nothing to do with this! What are you talking about!!!!

:cheese: :rolling:
 
On a serious note, define questioning morality. Sometimes I get these weird thoughts that say "oh, do this or this will happen." They're pretty petty things to do (such as, oh, clean this up or you'll never get married) and really odd conflicting thoughts like that. It's a total paranoia thing, and I'm not really sure how to describe it without sounding like a total freak, but it weirds me out.

Yeah, it seems to be a paranoia thing.
 
Every time a similar thought comes into my head..about why or whats going on, I quickly land to "Who Cares Whats Happened Has Happened".
