I have been told multiple times that my brain is part of my body. I understand it is correct. I don't believe it and it doesn't match my experience
I not only talk about my brain as if it isn't part of me, I talk to it as if it isn't part of me.
Like I reprimand it and tell it what it should do. Not that it ever listens...
I am 3 pounds of mostly fat piloting a meat mech.
Yes. I’m not my brain. That’s pretty obvious I think.
I think not. - My Brain
The human body is a collection of systems, which are each themselves a collection of cells/organisms that somehow manage to operate in relative cohesion with a bit of electricity and some nutrients.
So, it all kind of is separate entities, in a way. My electricity can get vaguely annoyed with my hardware ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Considering it feels like I'm trapped inside this decaying meat husk while it fucks up yes I think of it as the asshole with executive dysfunction that refuses to be helpful.
Different pieces of software running on the same hardware.

I can build the api backbone for your business in just a few hours on a good day.
I can't do more than one load of laundry at a time because the clothes in the washer will stay there until they develop a smell if the dryer has anything in it
I see my brain as a computer system in need of software optimisation, but I myself am a newbie at optimisation, so I find good ways to fix my issues at a snails pace, although that said it’s probably a little faster than the standard NT.
It’s common practice in a type of therapy called ACT or in mindfulness and Buddhism.
