I call that the robot mode. I've lived with in the mode for years now and finally I've began to slow down. I notice a huge change in my perspective of myself and the perspective I have on my entire situation. I question how I even came to this point, but mostly it's unexplainable. Do something outrageous, make a mistake you normally wouldn't....just so you'll feel human again. I'm just relating this to me, so if I'm off excuse my naiveness.
