If nothing exists, how is this conversation happening?

There is no guarantee that any conversation is happening. Nevertheless, one may be warranted in engaging in the semblance of a conversation.

@ the OP

Sounds like residual cognitive dissonance to me. Happens after a whole belief system change or something like a paradigm shift. Identity crises things like that.

Sounds and feels scary but it's just cognitive dissonance. It will just go away by itself in time if I am right.

I guess it's like the equivalent of a sudden diet change.

Stand up, Back straight
Chest out, Belly in
Eyes front
Stiffen that upper lip.

Face that which you fear most and shout
'Come on then, whats the matter? Not hard enough?'

Not one step backward, hold the line if you must and when you can - advance.

What worries you? Hell? Kick down the gates and march in.
