Waking up one morning to discover I've been a robot all this while and controlled by someone to do the things I do. This would be a bitter pill to swallow and that's because all the while I've been the one going through the struggle, pain , and emotional distress to meet someone's need. I'll feel heartbroken and cheated, because everything I've done has no benefit on my end, but a labour of slavery and endless pursuit for someone's bidding. It's like finally realizing you've been a slave in a place where you felt like a prince and now have to live with the reality of it.
The reasons behind my feelings would be; the realization that I'm not free and have no opinion of my own, and the fact that I can be shut down any minute if I repel- so it'll be a choice to either do their bidding and remain a slave or rebel and stop existing. These two reasons would steal away my joy over the things I once did passionately and kill my enthusiasm in everything I do as what clouds my mind would be what my master's next move would be, and no longer about the illusion that it was me doing my desires all the time.

Would I tell others? Yes, definitely, and I know it would be difficult for them to believe it. Because the metals are secretly hidden and the feeling that it has been them all the while. But then, I'll share with them the exact thing I saw that made me realize who I was. Was it a sign, a feeling, the nuts and bolts, all tell them all, but before then, I'll show this truth to someone who would first believe me, probably my friend or a sibling who trusts me to a certain level. When two people try to prove a point, there's a high possibility that people would listen compared to an idea coming from just one person. So I'll convince my friend or a sibling first, then together we'll let others know.
Why would I want to let others know? -To find a way out, probably fight back. Fight for our freedom or find a way out of this slavery.
