I don't if what I do are my true actions or emotions. I often times feel as though I am my own puppet, and I don't even know if I am pulling my own strings. I cry, but I do not know if these tears are true or just an act. I pray to God asking him for answers, but I do not know if I truly am asking him for the sake of asking, or because I am trying to act. I worry about the contradictions in I see in culture. We have sayings that tell us to live in the present, yet we do not truly follow those sayings and instead live for the future. We might save for the future, and have all our hard work go to nothing. Or we might live for the present, and have nothing to help us in the future. It confuses and worries me. At the same time, I do not know if this confusion or worry is true or just me acting without knowing it.
I am a young adult, what the f**k is wrong with me?

I don't think anything is wrong with you. You just seem to think about things more deeply than most other people, and that can certainly be a good thing.

Nothings wrong with you, wisdom can be confusing at times until you properly arrange it in your head. Coming into your 20's is hell for a lot of people. Read the book of the bible called Ecclesiastes. It's the only book within the Bible that I find any meaning in myself. I'm not a christian.

Everything's done under the sun.

I've shared these moments of super introspection as well, trying to flush out an inner sociopath. Hang in there and so will I.

You know, I'm thirteen and I ask myself the same thing. If you ask yourself these puppet questions it's because you've probably already done a lot of things that were acts. And I have spent days and days doing things that didn't come from me. To know, I ask myself how I see myself deep inside and then how others see me. And all the things people see from you that aren't you (physical things don't count) probably came from acts you've done. As for the quotes bit, u see what you mean. But here's 2 examples. When it's okay to think for the future : people cutting trees. For now it doesn't change anything but in the future well have no more trees. But this is what the quotes are trying to say: if you knew you only had 2 more hours to live most people will spend the two hours worrying about their death instead of doing something nice and fun to top their last minutes on earth. And that's why we should do things for the present.
