Greetings Everyone;

I'm looking for some guidance on whether my non-standard identity is more than just non-standard but bordering on the weird if not unusable. More specifically is that I identify using the following Class of Service groups:

Autistic: really no need to explain it
Hologram: my implementation comes from that shown in Pixel Perfect[1] with a few creative liberties
Nonverbal: this is more so due to past physical, emotional, and other trauma
Female: really don't need to explain human gender identities I would hope.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this one?

If you know you're actually made of meat like the rest of this, how can this identity remain in light of that knowledge?

Exactly. You're a human being, and that's awesome. Don't believe you are something you are not.

It's usually the common and limiting idea of defining what human is the problem, when the reality can be so much more and beyond of that.

Yes, so true ! We technically have 12 DNA braids. But officially, we only have 2 braids presently. What happened ?

I have my own personal reason to not trust what is commonly admitted as 'science'.

Real science is done by amateurs for the sole sake of discovering new things. Professional scientists is an oxymoron. They guide their effort to discover what they want to discover.

The hologram is a good idea. I read a book about black holes in 2013. Susskind, the author of that book, talked about our reality/universe/whatever being just encoding in a hologram in a lower dimension than what we perceive.

It's not normal to share the same identity complex with a lot of other humans beings. We are destined for diversity.

Whats's wrong with your identity? Do you just wan't to be treated differently by others? Or sexuell may be? Or do you wan't to find a way to get over some problems? What even are your problems? You may answer per PM once you need somebody to talk about your problems a less public way. :?

I read that ASD folks struggle with ID. I am equal to all others - the feature's of my body, my socioeconomic class, gender, religion, physical and mental ability, etc. are judged by society and I am subject to those "rules", but they are not me. I believe you know they are not you.

How is identity related to personality? Some folks have "too much" personality (that's me) and some folks have "too little" personality (that's my ASD-like BFF). For example, I am all at once confident and powerful and submissive and scared --- too connected. I am unclear what control I have if any. While my BFF sits at passive --- disconnected. I respond so strongly to my environment, my BFF responds hardly at all.

We are both deep thinkers... again a personality trait, not identity. Or is it? Can I have the identity of deep thinker? Surely you would relate to that.
