I am robot

We are all robots. Like a computer which follows the intended order of electricity and wires as it proceeds to read the instructions in ROM upon startup because it is wired-up to do so, we are all wired up to do certain things. Being shy causes common effects on the people who are subject to it as they try to find ways to cope/overcome it. According to an article I read in the paper, the shy look inward to themselves in an effort to understand themselves better, and then extrapolate their conclusions to other people. In this I am no different. Somehow in the brains of people like myself, excessive brain activity occurs when presented with names, faces, or people. Anxiety can be loosely associated with this excessive acticity. The thing is, there are a million other people out there just like me, doing exactly what I have been wired up to do. React to excessive brain activity as caused by social triggers.

I have always asserted that we as a people are really not much more than a reaction to stimuli inside and around us. It is strange to consider that I am no more than a reaction to the input, and a function of the output. A body of mechanical determinations. A product of variables. Who decides? Your body decides a lot.

But we are still unique. We have very large frontal lobes which allows for independent reason and logic; your own cognitive therapy. That is all we need, and frighteningly, all I have that seperates me from the other millions of shy/social phobia people like myself. Otherwise we would be twinkies.

A quick example: hyper-active people. They may seem careless, unfocused, self-centered, rebellious, or thoughtless of other people at times perhaps, but really they just can't focus. Give them focus and patience and who would you see? A different product.

It's silly, because I know people who praise themselves for being smart or something. But in reality, they did not create or specify to have that ability. The body did it.

But like I have said before. You can choose to be you for the reasons you think you ought. Make a conscience decision today.
