The "nothing will have ever mattered" part, is that an autism thing?

I have that but I always just thought that was an anxiety thing.

I think it's more of a human thing.

I feel like every moment is set in stone, and adds to the sculpture that is existence

Also, I have a very strong negative reaction to being called a human. Are these things related?
