<Snipped quote by Host>

They're remembered responses. I figure that I was used to responding to x in y way, like with excitement or irritation or sadness, and I just react that way naturally. But I don't feel what I'm expressing, at least not in any way I register.

@Balance

How do you know that's not what emotions are?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

I object on the basis that I'm not a robot, but I guess it's interesting to think about. I've been praying about it. It's just been so long I don't know if it'll ever be fixed.

@Balance

I just fail to see how those aren't emotions.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Free will? The breath and image of God? Etcetera.

@Balance

If there's no emotion behind anything, I don't see how a robot wouldn't be the same.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

I do, don't I? But, and I say this without a hint of sarcasm, I don't really feel a shred of what it looks like I feel.

@Balance

I find that hard to believe. What then would make you any different from a really advanced robot?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Hopefully. It's directly tied to the whole "no emotions and I don't know why" thing that we talked about earlier, and that escapes me.

@Balance

You seem pretty non-apathetic to me.

Half half right now.

I mean, I acknowledge that it's a problem. But it's not currently something I know how to deal with in any other way than pain.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

There's... different kinds of us, I think. I'm trying to figure that out. But until then, I'll happily meet your friend. And... well, let's call it a mental problem.

@Balance

That's something you can figure out.

*Holds in laughter*

@CuttleFish

You have to be kidding.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

From how I saw it, it was.

@CuttleFish

*Looks at you bewildered*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Oh! Waking up and getting punched had absolutely nothing to do with each other. Those were fulfilling two totally different psychological demands.

@Balance

*Scowls*

<Snipped quote by Host>

Well it was then.

@CuttleFish

It was not!
