Paraclete Paraclete is a Christian biblical term occurring five times in the Johannine texts of the New Testament. In Christian theology, the word commonly refers to the Holy Spirit and is translated as 'advocate', 'counsellor or 'helper'.
This kind of freaks me out now cuz before I looked this up I was going to mention a lifelong need to explain certain actions to an invisible observer, especially when in front of mirrors. Never heard of this until today, always shrugged it off but also kind of wondered, which is why this post got clicked in the first place.
I try to explain the retarded shit I do, because I feel watched and feel the expectation of explanation. I was perfectly happy to believe this was simply a personality quirk. Or I might be schizophrenic.
If I do something I feel is uncharacteristic of myself, something that would bear explaining why, especially in the mirror, I get the urge to explain. To me it seemed like I was explaining to God, not really for forgiveness, its never for bad things, always little things I feel self conscience about.
