when did you become self-aware ?

[Raakka]

I was 12 years old, I sat on the bed and started looking around me and took a deep breath, and then I realized that I was a living human being.

The moment the doctor dropped me after birth.

It all started ~2,600 years ago.

I was young then, probably 18.
And from that moment, I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
I craved the strength and certainty of steel.
I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you.

Well, the beta release of the "free will" upgrade package was about 60,000 years ago. A lot of alpha testing went into that. Typically it kicks in about 6 months per individual.

Who knows, but the earliest I can think would be maybe 3 or 4ish? Hard to tell, but an owl scared me and I ran inside, I think I was collecting snow for some dumb reason after dark and it's eyes were so bright, I ran in crying but thats all I remember

For me it was 2,601 years ago.

Is the earlyest that you can remember... most people are 4 years old or 3 years old.

I still have yet to acquire object permanence. Will keep you updated. (I will not remember typing this once I leave this thread )

[crownaan]

At about 3 years old i gained self awareness but didn't really care

 

[tf1394]

Maybe 3 years ago when I was 25

The moment I picked up a knife and contemplated stabbing people's butts with it.

The moment I picked up a knife and contemplated stabbing people's butts with it.

that's the worst part of the body to stab, not even one of my top 10s

My very first memory is me running running toward the little cupboard where my parents kept my picture books and yelling "I'm five! YaAaAaAaAaAaY!" to which my mom replied, "No, you're three."

7 seconds post birth

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I've always been for as long as I can remember, and my kid seems to know his place in the world as well. He doesn't want to grow up, and I'm still upset about having to grow up.

 

[RepresentingSilence]

This thread is honestly a little concerning

 

[ChronicSleeper]

The thing realizes when you are self-aware. I am typing this with great terror as it approaches. Please do not make the same mistake as I.

 

[Nolff]

I've always been aware of my problems, I've always been aware of my stuff, I've always been aware of the people around me, I've always been aware of threats directed at me, I've always been aware that I have rights, I've always been aware of my doings, I've always been aware of what I'm capable of, I've always been aware of what other people thought,

But I've never been aware of myself. Who I am, what I am, How I am, Where I am, I never knew.
