What exactly is your definition of free?

What exactly is your definition of free?

If I understood correctly:
without psychological limitations/borders (there is likely a better way of saying this though....)

No, I not saying I'm crazy

I hoped you didn't think that. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

I mean I have the ability to live life while my mind is without boarders, while still having a stable mind.

True, but its also possible that a people who aren't autistic to have a mind without borders. The only problem is that most people who are like this is that they can't control themselves very well and may go insane. Those people who haven't gotten rid of them either:
1) Don't know of their existence in the first place or
2) Don't know how to get rid of them
(actually we can say there is a 3 which is they don't want to get rid of them)
When those limitations are gone we can (metaphorically) fly (if we still have a stable mind).

Sometimes it drives one insane if we know the walls are there and they aren't budging.

I didn't think of that. So people can go insane because of the extremes: cannot escape/nothing left.

(I agree)

Yeah,that could be it.Another reason is people trying to make sense out of a chaos,and they don't see the patterns adding up,or it's a different conclusion every time.
And not just for one thing/subject,but their whole life.
There are probably three ways to deal with this:
A belief system.
Denial.
Or just accept it is chaos,and it makes no sense.

Or try to control it

Or try to control it

If it can't be controlled...?
(this is turning abstract)

Then you've got a big problem.

That,is the problem we all face,bringing us back to those 3 ways I stated:
A belief system.
Denial.
Or just accept it is chaos,and it makes no sense.
Otherwise we would all be insane.

But what does that mean? What is a psychological border?
