From Gail Smith
I have delusion-like beliefs. If I were to be asked if I was in control of all of my actions, or all of my thoughts, I would answer “no”. My argument would be that I am clearly not in control of my actions – for example, when I respond to pain. I am not in control of my thoughts when worry keeps me awake at night…
This article as a whole makes a strong case for me not being fully in control of my thoughts, since these link into my belief system, over which I do not have conscious control.
I’m surprised that fewer than half the UK population hold these beliefs – or am I so delusional that I’m missing something here?
