Hearing derogatory language in my head

Desmond79

Whenever I'm on a Zoom conference; I hear racist and insulting terms in my head; even though that's not my zeitgeist.

My heart races whenever I see minority groups. Whenever I was at Uni, I went out of my way to be friendly with minorities. It was a compulsive need to 'prove' myself.

The Roman Senate in my head wants me Assassinated.

  • That sounds like a left hemisphere, right hemisphere interaction thing. I can never remember which side is supposed to be which, but I am convinced it happens; perhaps to most of us at some point in our lives. This notion might sound a bit too 'current' for comfort, but I reckon it actually could be quite a calming outlook. It might even begin to appear understandable, manageable or tolerable. (Much as I kind of enjoy a bit of classical head drama myself, I'm also very glad that the Romans have long been in decline ;-)
