A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It is usually an electromechanical system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.

-Wikipedia.org

There was a point in aspie matrix's life that was so socially inept it felt inhuman. As I began to understand NT behavior it occurred to me that the equation did not fit. Or maybe you were some failed government project. I guess that is the point of "Wrong Planet", eh?

I've always identified with robots in science fiction stories, rather than with aliens.

Domo arigato, mr. roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, mr. roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who i am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in japan, i am the modren man

I've got a secret i've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain i.b.m.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-i'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, i'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, mr. roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, mr. roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, mr. roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, mr. roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, mr. roboto
For helping me escape just when i needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
Now everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm kilroy! kilroy! kilroy! kilroy!

I was depressed once when I was about 13, and I read this book called Harry Potter-- Fact Or Fiction or something, and the part about the mind's Imperius Curse freaked me out and made me think I was a robot, there was no free will or afterlife, etc. It was not good.

Well if you read the book I think you did it's indefinitely fiction. And of course you have free will, everyone does, how are you browsing the internet right now doing whatever you want? And about an afterlife... I don't believe in that myself at all so I won't comment there. :lol:

Sometimes I feel like a robot, and it does not bother me in the slightest. I would like to have total emotional control, I feel it would be very useful.

I've been there, and it is a very hard phase of thought for me to get out of. Try to find things you can help people with.

Not the remixes right? One was by Akon, I think. There was also one Jared Leto did and despite my love for 30 Seconds to Mars the remix seemed rushed.

Sorry for being stupid, but what exactly do you mean by robotic?
