does anyone else feel like there's only one consciousness experiencing everything?
okay so I went down a rabbit hole tonight and I can't stop thinking about this. there's this wild physics theory from the 1940s where a physicist named Wheeler proposed that there's only one electron in the entire universe, and it just travels forward and backward through time so fast that it appears to be everywhere at once. every electron you've ever learned about in chemistry class might literally be the same one, just... flickering through time. and I had this thought: what if consciousness works the same way? like what if there isn't your awareness and my awareness and a dog's awareness and a whale's awareness, what if there's just one consciousness, and it experiences every single life, one at a time (or all at once, outside of time)? you're not a person having a conscious experience. you're consciousness itself, trying on a human life for a while. and when this one ends, it moves to another, a child being born somewhere, an animal, whoever. all of it. every perspective that has ever existed or will exist. it would explain why awareness feels the same from the inside no matter who you are. why empathy is even possible. why loneliness feels so strange and wrong, because on some level we know separation is the illusion. apparently this maps almost exactly onto a Hindu philosophical tradition called Advaita Vedanta that's been saying this for thousands of years. and Schopenhauer basically got there too. and Alan Watts spent his whole career trying to explain it to Westerners. I'm not saying I believe it. I just can't find a reason to dismiss it either. if it's true, every person you've ever been annoyed at, every stranger on the subway, every person you wrote off, you were looking at yourself. you just didn't recognize you yet. anyway it's 2am and I'm a little down a rabbit hole, has anyone else thought about this or am I just sleep deprived

Can any Female help me out? Need someone to Vent out and Console.
Hi,
I am a 24 year old M from Noida. I recently had a breakup from a 6 year old relationship. I am very depressed from past few weeks and unable to sleep or eat anything.
Also, I am having nightmares from past few days about random stuffs. Need someone to talk but do not have any friends.
If any female can help me to vent out and just relax down it will be much appreciated. Here, some people will now come and say that why I am asking for female's only specifically. So, that is why because we as men really do not know how to console someone.

Just felt like sharing.
Long story short, I had a crush when I was in 5th grade, it wasn't love but crush at first sight and I was just 10. I'm 22 right now. I could never tell him even though he used to sit behind me as we were kids. I even imagined him in songs (nothing cheap). After him, I only had 1-2 crushes (not major) and I've never been in a relationship but the feelings I held for him and maybe still do, are now impacting me.
We only follow each other on instagram (which I've deactivated now) and we live in different cities (he left our school in 9th) and I don't know whether he is in a relationship or not. Apart from replying to my stories or praising me a bit, he hasn't shown much interest in me and same for me, I could never share how I felt except for maybe praising him at times in a funny way. I'm not sure if our mutual classmate (who knows that I sort of liked him), has told him, if she has, then I'm embarrassed as such.
I once confessed my feelings in an anonymous way to him, he posted an anonymous message link on his story when we were in 10th. Damn I don't know if he knows it was me, I didn't write there using my name for safety purpose but yeah idk.
I remember some key details about him. I have seen him in my dreams plenty of times. I'm not obsessed with him, mind you..I have seen him in a relationship when we were in school only. They broke up later but I wasn't bothered.
One thing was weird, he added me on two social media platforms years back but then abruptly removed me. He only kept me on instagram. Idk why I'm even sharing all this.
Even now, when I think about him at times, I tend to smile out of nowhere.
I think, I can never tell him about what I feel and I believe he doesn't have feelings for me.
Im not claiming I love him.
Maybe it was love, maybe it was admiration, maybe he was just a crush or maybe it was liking.
One thing I know is that whatever it is, it'll never be known to him.
wtf is even happening bruh
something rings a bell? the title fuck yea, we are soooo back cus im lowk in the most unswaggest era of my life rn
first of all addressing the elephant in the room, neet got cancelled, okay wtaf? my luck is in hell bradar.

My Aunt mocked about my su**ide attempt at Family dinner
The backstory is that I'm living with my Aunt and cousin for the past three years... not exactly 3 years sometimes I got home for 2-3 months and 2 years ago... I was living in a PG and I failed my exam and I was hopeless and in depression and tried a s***ide attempt but the PG staff saved me.
But recently my Cousin got married and they clearly told me that I have to move out now and I wanted to move out too because it's a fair thing and now that I've started an internship, I can manage rent and stuff. I was busy at my cousin's(her son) marriage from the last 2 months. So didn't had much time to find a room and My cousin was the one who stopped me to find rooms. He said he had some contacts. Now my internship has started and I'm busy almost 12hrs a day and I told him multiple times in the last 2 week to look for a room.
My Aunt has been mocking me from the last month, even though I worked like an animal at my cousin's wedding handling almost everything. Tonight, our sister and brother-in-law invited us for dinner and it was 8 people and out of nowhere, she told everyone, "He said he'll cook food for himself, he doesn't even eat food at home", in a mocking tone...she doesn't even make food at home. At her house, she only cooks meal at noon. No breakfast no dinner. And most of the time she asks me for Chai when I'm leaving for office, what's the point in that.
She said, "From which floor you're gonna jump this time". Not the first time she joked about this. Man I was so pissed but had to stay silent and joked it off. I really wanted to stand up and go somewhere else from there. For the past 3 years I've worked my a** off for them. Never said No to any of their chores. Even if I was tired or sick I've tried my best to not be a burden. But this is what I get.
My cousin who's the sole earner, never really treated me like that. He treated me as his own. Even the internship I'm doing is because of his reference. But my Aunt is really getting on my nerve now. Even though I'm trying my best to move out, she's doing all this.
