True things you Cant tell anyone?

[integral]

Here we go guys, list things you know are true but cant tell anyone as they will look at you like your missing 6 tentacles.

If you're masculine presenting like me, and also gay then you can't tell your straight bros that you are or they might malfunction. I nonchalantly told an acquaintance that "I prefer guys" in the midst of a conversation about some random girl. I could tell I had temporarily destroyed his conception of who I am. He gave me an expression like he had seen a ghost. I may as well have had tentacles.

This is crazy! I have found that when you ask people about Gay/Lesbian LGBQ acceptance they are all for it and really open. Reasonable. Act like it is nothing shocking - IF - they haven't formed up an idea or concept of who you are as a person.

If they have formed an opinion/concept of you already, and have some established history in their mind, it is often filled with assumptions. When you counter the pre-conceived idea or projection of who you are in someone's mind... it temporarily leaves them in a state of confusion as their concept of your truth doesn't marry up with the reality. They literally trip over the gap between idea of you, and who you really are! They go into shock. As long as they are able to reconcile the two; reality/concept - they seem to get over it. When they cannot, it can really reveal an unconscious prejudice!

To answer OP: morality is an illusion/construct. Social domain is a construct (not real). Good and bad are relative and not objective. The self is an illusion. Free will is largely an illusion...

These four didn't go down so well at a family dinner a couple of months back. The free will one had my brother bashing his hands on the table 

I am banned from philosophy conversations.

That side of the family are Christians - so this was probably...

Things can be simultaneously true and untrue (paradox).

Take physical reality for example. We all feel it, yet there's nothing actually "real" about it. It can be "let-go of" and inhabited by us at the same time.

Another one I told my college roommate five years ago was there is not such thing as free will. He was at the stove cooking an omelette. He got this serious/pissy look on his face and threw the greasy spatula onto the ground, exclaiming "Look, free will!" I started laughing hysterically because all he did was have an unconscious emotional reaction — nothing about it was willed. And yet, will does exist because how and why was this reality created?! What could do such a thing, and how?

This is a juicy one. Some ideas off the top of my head:

All the stuff we put importance on in our lives is completely made up fairy tales.

Reality is completely mysterious and no one knows what it really is or where it came from.

That person you think you are is an artificial construct (@VeganAwake will rejoice) and can be deconstructed and changed.

Your friend X is an artificial construct inside your head.

All social rules and etiquette are a sham.

You are not special, but you are unique.

There is no right way to live life, sitting on your couch in your underwear until you die is just as valid as being president of some country.

What happened yesterday, what will happen tomorrow are just figments of your imagination, they don't exist.

Knowing the truth is equivalent to keeping your mouth shut. All is good in this hood. If they ask of course well that's an different topic entirely.

I’m God. I’m Reality. I’m everything.

For sure they will send me to psych ward.

Morality, good, and evil are human inventions. Ultimately, the child rapist and the Saint are One and the same; there won't be divine favoritism of any form. God loves the child rapists and the child being raped to the same "amount".

You were ultimately never born and you'll ultimately never die.

I'm scheduled to hold a speech in an 85-year-old's birthday. Wouldn't you guess the thought crossed my mind.

I can't tell anyone around me I'm not religious anymore and religion is bs lol. muslims here in morocco consider ex-muslims worse than dictators or criminals.
