Why Your 'Normal' May Not Be Universal: A Guide to Inner Experiences

Start here

The experiences people assume everyone shares

Inner speech, mental imagery, dreams, tinnitus-like sound, visual phenomena, smell and taste, memory, reflexes, and sleep experiences vary far more than casual conversation suggests. Labels such as aphantasia, visual snow, synesthesia, intrusive thoughts, cataplexy, or seizure-related symptoms can provide vocabulary, but the article must not turn self-reports into diagnoses.

What you will find
  • A visual spectrum for inner monologue and mental imagery, including aphantasia
  • Sensory sections for vision, hearing, smell, taste, and body sensations
  • Sleep, dreams, memory, zoning-out, and reflex experiences
  • A Vocabulary, not a diagnosis panel
  • A When to seek help panel for seizure-like events, cataplexy, and distressing intrusive thoughts

Sudden weakness while laughing can have a medical explanation

1 source record
Evidence Status: Independently checked

Appears when: A symptom worth discussing with a clinician

What the pattern means: Cataplexy can cause sudden muscle weakness triggered by strong emotion, including laughter, but one symptom alone cannot establish a diagnosis.

✓ Supported, with contextWhat the evidence says: Cataplexy is a sudden loss of muscle control associated with type 1 narcolepsy, and strong emotions such as laughter can trigger it. Feeling weak while laughing is not diagnostic on its own; clinicians use the broader symptom history and sleep testing because seizures, fainting, and other conditions can resemble cataplexy.

My husband does this!♥ 0source record 1181
I don't get lonely. like, ever, even if I'm alone and barely interact with anyone for days or weeks at a time.♥ 1,086source record 1195
I talk and sing to everything all day long, my head never shuts up, maybe that's why I don't need anyone else around 🤣♥ 1source record 1196
So much this 😂😂 The thought of not seeing another person for years at a time brings me so much happiness and joy. I don’t have words to describe it.♥ 1source record 1208
OMG, yes! I have always thought that other people were so weird for getting lonely, because I literally don’t understand the concept at all. To me it’s like it’s not even a thing, people make it up.♥ 1source record 1210
I was so antisocial in school because I liked being on my own that I got sent to the school counselor. I literally told them that I was happy being alone and didn’t care to socialize with most of my peers. In my 30s now with a husband and 2 kids and still like my time alone. It’s glorious being self sufficient 🤣♥ 1source record 1211
My mother has always said that there’s a difference between being lonely and being alone♥ 1source record 1219
I agree on not being bored . I’ve never once thought I’m bored . Quite the opposite♥ 11source record 1221
I just thought this literally today! I’m also a very creative and crafty, hobby fixated person, I find peace and enjoy creating in my spare time for others to enjoy as well.♥ 2source record 1223
I love being alone♥ 1source record 1227
I’m perfectly fine alone - I literally don’t get lonely but if I get in a crowd by myself, I feel it.♥ 1source record 1230
A vacation to me is being able to be completely alone with my cell phone turned off! 😆♥ 1source record 1231
I actually wish this was mean. I get lonely but people drain me so quick 😭. So it’s annoying♥ 1source record 1235
i feel guilty 😭♥ 111source record 1239
YES!!! I've never met another person who feels this way, and it's so hard to explain that feeling.♥ 25source record 1244
I get that too. And I'm also a night person. And it's not guilt for me like someone else mentioned, just an overriding sense of sadness or loss. 🥺♥ 19source record 1250
So real. Or waking up WAY too late. Like after 2pm. I’ll be so upset the whole day♥ 11source record 1253
KNOW ME! It feels like time lapsed and I missed out on my own life somehow and it breaks my heart.♥ 11source record 1254
I avoid napping bc of this!! It’s literally depressing♥ 10source record 1256
i feel horrible bcs it feels like i wasted the whole day 😞♥ 7source record 1260
I feel like I'm in a different world. Eons have past and I've lost so much time. 😭♥ 2source record 1268
I feel this too! like "oh no i missed so much time" or "looks like I'll get some time to myself now"♥ 1source record 1273
I feel this way♥ 1source record 1280
Ong, yes, this is so real. I’m not a night person, I’m a morning person so I always thought that was the reason why I felt this way. It’s a deep sadness that I missed something and.♥ 1source record 1282
I've done this only a few times, but very cool!!!♥ 1source record 1288
I did this forever but I think I stopped in my thirties or 40s♥ 4source record 1299
I’ve started writing down some of my stories.♥ 4source record 1301
I do too. I’ve never met someone who does it too.♥ 1source record 1329
I literally write down my favorites so I can revisit. I sometimes use ai to help think of names for characters, fictional places, plot lines, scenes, etc 😭♥ 1source record 1331
I’ve never met another person. Who does this!!!! I swear this is the best TikTok I’ve ever been on. 😁🤪🥰♥ 1source record 1335
Nah, my mom was just emotionally neglectful so I have attachment issues. I’m already almost 40 and nothing’s ever bubbled up♥ 1source record 1346

I've had this happen many times as well.♥ 0source record 1392

I was on that thread for at least an hour😂😂😂♥ 2source record 1480
My favorite thing to do—I pick a storyline like I’m scrolling the tv guide channel and take off!♥ 1source record 1496

I work in mental health and have had to perfect this in order to not drive myself insane♥ 11source record 1559
INTJ. I can do this. It has to be someone I’ve let in my inner circle or something I’m passionate about if we are talking work/research. I’ll also sit back not caring until everything is a disaster and no one knows how to fix it. Then for some reason manage to appear fairly calm while fixing it.♥ 1source record 1577
I was going to comment this as well. Hello fellow INFJens♥ 1source record 1579
I have so much empathy, but I've gone through so much of life in survival mode that I will instinctively detach from anothera situation if I feel like it will negatively affect me♥ 1source record 1583

one time before my ex and I went to go smoke we literally talked about what we would say if a cop pulled up and that exact night a cop pulled up and we had to walk home and I got my b0ng smashed♥ 0source record 1643
im genuinely learning to just keep that GIFT very much betweeen me & myself😭. it’s a secret not meant to be told or expressed, ppl also feels like we’re one upping them..which i do not like either so i just stopped lol♥ 3source record 1645
Omgggg this happems to me all the time with various ppl but I be getting looked at crazy when I say it out loud so I just stopped telling ppl😅♥ 3source record 1646
It’s probably not just me but I have a random feeling of just not wanting to exist then seconds later I’m fine. Just go about my day after like I didn’t just feel like a shell walking🚶🏾‍♀️♥ 458source record 1650
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOE THIS ONE! It’s like a crazy, deep feeling in your gut too. It’s impossible to explain. Like the most empty feeling for a split second. It’s soooooo uncomfortable. This has happened to me since I was little.♥ 5source record 1653
My PMDD does this to me. It last a few days and I just have to remind myself it'll be over in a few days. Not sad or anything just feeling pointless and not wanting to be around in this place♥ 0source record 1656
The feeling comes on and I don’t know why. And then it passes maybe moments later maybe hours and I don’t know what caused it.♥ 1source record 1657
I kinda have this but, not that I don’t WANT to exist, it’s like a strange deep feeling that I don’t belong where I am in the moment.♥ 5source record 1661
I’m chronically su*c*dal & most days it’s like this but somedays I actually have a plan, etc♥ 3source record 1666

I would rather throw up 2 minutes every day for the rest of my life than have pneumonia again 😭 i had it every year from 2012-2018 and i cant do that ever again♥ 3source record 1735
this is exactly how I describe it too. I freak everyone out in my house when it happens♥ 2source record 1754
I will try almost anything to NOT throw up♥ 24source record 1757
On the contrary everyone thinks I’m a weirdo for being able to throw upl and move on right after like it never happened♥ 1source record 1761
I realized mine was so violent because I fought against it so hard. Relaxing and just letting it happen helped me stop breaking blood vessels in my face♥ 1source record 1768
Like, I will sit there for hours fighting it instead of just puking. I will be green after surgery and just not move to avoid puking.♥ 13source record 1770
This is funny. I’ve met people like this. They would rather do anything but puke. I throw up easily so I guess I have to get used to it♥ 1source record 1772

Random people go out of their way to talk to me and tell me super personal details about their lives. I’m talking cashiers etc.♥ 7,956source record 1795

It’s so hard to explain! It’s like words describing something in your head instead of pictures yet I don’t see or read the words either♥ 9source record 1829
I do too. I have an image for every word.♥ 7source record 1837
So cool. I am always telling my kids to respect everyone because every single person lives in their own version of the universe and has their own purpose to fulfill. (minus criminals who do horrible things to others, children, and animals. It's okay to disrespect them).♥ 2source record 1839
drawing has always been very difficult for me and now I understand why. I've always been jealous♥ 3source record 1847

My bf has this and it makes it difficult to sneak up on him 🤣♥ 1source record 2171
I appreciate that though. My mom talks to a woman at her local grocery store and it’s been meaningful for her♥ 2source record 2190
Ppl tell me weird stuff at the cash register where I work. It’s because they know you are present and you see them. We are all connected. Ppl know u care and can trust u♥ 3source record 2192

No but it has definitely negatively affected my ability to be able to recognize my emotions and work through them in a healthy way — I won’t realize I even feel negarive emotions until the box spills over and I have a mini breakdown about everything that happened in the last 6 months or so.

I am honestly like this too. If I block someone I literally never think about them organically again unless someone else brings them up. They just no longer exist to me♥ 2source record 2790
I have weird interactions with electronics. I walk or drive under street lights and they often go out. My watch dies quickly, my television is new and won't always turn on for me, I shock everyone when I touch them, stuff like that. 🤷‍♀️♥ 144source record 2791

I can do this too, and also places like different towns/cities.♥ 0source record 2845
I wasn't going to post this but yes. my husband is perpetually baffled at how I can profile ppl accurately with only seeing them walk from his work to their cars. I can tell him things about them that I have no way of or business knowing lol it's so cool♥ 1source record 2848

I'm definitely no expert, but maybe weird isn't the right word. For me at least, I'd say I was more... hard to figure out 😂 I didn't fit into any one group of friends, but I kinda fit into ALL of them. It certainly tends to make one an interesting person.♥ 1source record 2888
my mom always says I'm too literal.♥ 1source record 2892
I was waiting for that last sentence 😅 I have my own suspicions. Both of my divorced parents call me their “literal” child lol♥ 22source record 2897

Zaps, tingles, itches and mystery pains

356 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Zaps, tingles, itches and mystery pains

What the pattern means: Sensations with no visible cause and no vocabulary — brief electrical zaps, unreachable itches, tingles that arrive before a savoury meal. The recurring realisation is not the sensation itself but that it needed naming: several commenters describe a constant low-level pain they had assumed everyone carried.

What commenters described: I thought it was normal to have a baseline level of pain 24/7

Limit: Persistent or new unexplained pain and neurological sensations warrant medical assessment rather than reassurance from a comment thread.

What the replies added1

I attach personalities and human characteristics to numbers, letters and colors. Like the numbers four and five are married and 9 is their awkward daughter. 8 and 7 used to date. But 8 was mean and bossy so now they’ve broken up.

Explicit limit or counterpoint

so the whole hyper fixation thing. at first i thought i wasnt actually crazy- but people say that about simply really liking stuff. when i was about 9, I got introduced to this fan animated series called fnafhs, and I liked it so much it caused me pain. Like i cried over the fact that i knew i would finish all the content and have to wait for it to come out- and in english dub, cuz it was og in spanish. I have very few ACTUAL hyper fixations and unfortunately most of them have no more content, so i grieve them like they were people. (infinity train, camp camp, gravity falls)

Same! You can touch me anywhere on my body and I will most likely say ouch. I hurt everywhere.♥ 1source record 1441
my husband will throw up to make himself feel better. like if he ate something bad. I will avoid it at any cost! I will withstand the pain of needing to puke for days before I will let myself throw up!♥ 0source record 1726
throwing up is the worst. my stomach will painfully shove all of its contents out and then keep trying to do it after everything is gone. luckily, I haven't thrown up on a regular basis since I was a kid, so I rarely have to deal with it, but when it happens, it's awful.♥ 0source record 1736
Fr and I have terrible acid reflux so I’m constantly vomiting and i cant stand it. I literally cry every time, like i can take any pain but the feeling of vomiting 🤢🤢🤢♥ 0source record 1741
i would rather have a toilet perm attached to my ass than vomit. it is horribly violent and painful to me. i have a tiny throat tube (my word for the actual term) esophageal sphincter dsyfunction♥ 0source record 1746
This. I don’t feel any physical pain, but the emotional pain is draining. I cannot take care of hospice clients any more for that reason, seeing my client n emotional turmoil makes me cry.

Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Sneezes and other rogue reflexes

What the pattern means: Reflexes triggered by the wrong thing — sneezing at bright sunlight is the one most commenters assumed was universal, with hunger-triggered sneezing named alongside it. The pattern is that these are consistent and lifelong, which is why they were never questioned.

What commenters described: i thought everyone sneezed when they see bright light from the sun, like when you first go outside.

Head-to-toe quirks nobody else admits to

297 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Head-to-toe quirks nobody else admits to

What the pattern means: The miscellaneous group, and its most-liked entry is also its most consequential: a commenter who believed habits were a performance because nothing they do is automatic, and who consciously prompts themselves through basic self-care. Postural quirks recur — an inability to stand straight comfortably.

What commenters described: I always thought people were pretending to have habits. Every action I have ever made has been conscious and I have to constantly remind myself to do basic things like brush teeth, buckle seatbelt, etc

Limit: Difficulty performing routine self-care without conscious effort can have clinical causes and is worth raising with a professional.

What the replies added2

Nope. It’s literally only when they play bite. I’m sure if they were to actually bite too, but luckily that’s never happened to me. It’s some sort of response

Stomachs, food and everything digestive

171 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Stomachs, food and everything digestive

What the pattern means: Digestive reactions specific enough to be diagnostic — a cough triggered by one food and no other, shared with a grandmother. Alongside them sit fears rather than symptoms, including an extended aversion to vomiting that commenters describe as an event in itself.

What commenters described: I cough when I eat ice cream. No other dairy products or frozen items, just ice cream. My grandma does it too but I’ve never met anyone else who does

Limit: Food-specific reactions can indicate intolerance or allergy; commenters here identify patterns rather than causes.

Same and I fully believe it saved my life 4 years ago among many other times. My husband had a childhood friend who moved back home to our town & from the moment I met him I felt an OVERWHELMING fear of him,like mine and my husbands lives were in danger when we were around him. I didn't know what it was about but I trusted it and told my husband and he started distancing himself from him. Not long after,the guys wife died under very VERY mysterious circumstances and a few months later he showed up to our house one day while my husband was at work (he knew my husbands work hours and that I was home alone during the week.) He started looking over our fence where he saw me looking out of the door to see who had pulled up,he then came into our yard,started knocking on the door,then banging on it and it escalated to him trying to break the door down slamming his entire body into it and kicking it over and over while I hid in my room with a knife calling for help. Both my husband and sister were trying to rush to me from across town (I called them before calling the police as the police in our town are slow to respond to anything). My husband called our neighbors (who are like family to us) hoping the husband was home and could stop him from breaking our door down and getting to me but the wife was home alone over there too..She grabbed a sharp shovel ran over to our porch and started swinging it at his head while another neighbor and her husband pulled up and started yelling at him to leave telling him the police were on the way. He dropped his phone in our yard (which we found a few hours later),got in his car and sped off. And yup you guessed it,the police did nothing bc he hadn't physically harmed me or made it through the door.

Collapsable arches… always would say sometimes it feels the arch in my foot stopped working, like more than a cramp… turns out that’s EXACTLY what was happened. Thought it was normal, when I asked others, they thought I was crazy… should have been my red flag!

nah its just the chemistry of the plant. plants contain all kinds of chemicals(natural chemicals) and different kinds of plants contain different levels or different kinds and mixtures of them. likewise different individuals of an animal species such as humans, react differently to those chemicals because of genetic variation. i think this plays a part in how uniqe diets happen in different species. the plants and animals evolve alongside eachother and and the diet is dictated by what's available and what works with the individuals body, and that forms what that population or species naturally feeds on. its how things like monarch butterflies can feed o a toxic plant milkweed. some chemicals in plants are toxic to some things and not to others, and the ones thst can eat it can develop an ecological relationship with that plant, sometimes becoming specialized to it, like in the case of monarchs. some could eat it and that became a unique species.♥ 1source record 3771

Sweats, chills, shivers and temperature chaos

76 source records
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Sweats, chills, shivers and temperature chaos

What the pattern means: Temperature and sweat behaving unexpectedly, with the most striking report being sweat that feels caustic on the skin — assumed normal until stated aloud. Others describe a chill they associate with a season rather than a temperature.

What commenters described: I sometimes feel a chill in the air that feels exactlyyyy like Halloween

Limit: Painful or burning sweat is not typical and merits clinical attention.

Manual breathing, loud heartbeats and bodies you can hear

64 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Manual breathing, loud heartbeats and bodies you can hear

What the pattern means: Bodies you cannot stop noticing. The corpus's most-liked entry here describes deliberately matching another person's breathing to avoid inhaling their exhale, and the group's core realisation is that becoming aware of breathing forces you to do it manually.

What commenters described: Inhaling an exhale of any sort will send me out of orbit. I will purposefully match my breathing with someone just so I don’t have to breathe in their exhale😅

What the replies added2

WHY’D YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME?? Another ten minutes of my life gone. 🤣

Limit: Weather-sensitive joint pain is commonly reported but the accounts here are self-observed rather than tested.

Then, in college, freshman year, Psych 101, this was described in the chapter of “Obscure Behaviors” and called “Astral Flying” I was excited - it has a name! - and looke around the auditorium.

I also feel pain differently. different types of pain feel like something else to me. like when my thigh hurts (lvl 1 autism pain scale) it feels like static, pokey static. when i have a flare up (gerd, autism pain scale 7) it feels like a frozen metal ball is in my esophogus and its stuck (dont try it, just the feeling imagry is enough for me to know it'll hurt like a b). I found out on two different occasions that i feel pain "like a weirdo".

'That was an allergy all along' discoveries

107 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: 'That was an allergy all along' discoveries

What the pattern means: The group where an assumed quirk turned out to have a name: a mouth that burns or tingles with particular fruits, long assumed to be what those fruits simply do. The corrections here are consequential because the underlying cause is allergic rather than idiosyncratic.

What commenters described: Told someone I like kiwi but hate the way it makes my lips burn and “buzz”. I thought kiwi just did that. Learned I’m allergic to kiwi.

Limit: Oral tingling or numbness with specific foods can indicate allergy, including reactions that escalate; these accounts are discoveries rather than diagnoses.

What the replies added2

No 🥲😭 I thought they did. Then I had a c section and found out the hard way that I was allergic to adhesives and broke out in hives for weeks after 🙃

Everyone saying celery should know that it’s actually quite common for your mouth to get tingly especially if you have allergies, this is due to celery having a protein similar to pollen.

POTS, fainting and the standing-up blackout

107 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: POTS, fainting and the standing-up blackout

What the pattern means: Fainting and near-fainting treated as ordinary until named. Commenters describe the specific pattern — heart rate jumping sharply on standing, palpitations, blacking out without warning — and several report recognising it first from someone else's description rather than from a clinician.

What commenters described: having heart palpitations when anxious and my heart rate jumping from 60-140 when i stand 😄 didn’t know what pots was until other people described it to me

Limit: Fainting without warning and large heart-rate changes on standing require medical assessment; recognising a description is not a diagnosis.

What the replies added1

My thumbs get nauseous.. like how some peoples knees “get weak” when they see something gross or when someone faints when they see blood. When I see something gross or partake in conversation that has a gross topic, my thumbs get really weak. I couldn’t write notes in my first aid class because we would talk about things like deep cuts, broken bones, or pregnancy and I couldn’t continue writing because my thumbs wouldn’t work!

Reported failure♥ 1

Where commenters report limits

Explicit limit or counterpoint

I thought it was normal for people to faint at random and with no warning - but nah, I just have POTS. 🤷🏻‍♀️Finally got my diagnosis when my PT asked me to get a yoga ball from the shelf. I woke up in an ambulance.

They are not swirling. I don’t have high blood pressure. 💕♥ 0source record 451
This happens to me when I’m passing out!♥ 20source record 465
This happens to me too! Also happens when I faint. My theory is the stretch triggers a vasovagal response, so basically syncope but you recover before passing out.♥ 5source record 747
I pass out if I throw up♥ 0source record 1743
Yep I haven’t thrown up in literally over a decade. I will cry and almost pass out whenever I feel sick. I’d have “emergency gum” because mint can soothe your stomach 😭♥ 2source record 1764

That's true! 🤣🤣🤣 I almost fainted standing for 15 minutes, while my parents lectured me when I was a child.♥ 0source record 2627
Funnily enough I actually go to the doctor almost monthly and I have low blood pressure 99% of the time 😅♥ 2source record 2926
I think that’s high blood pressure but I might be wrong♥ 0source record 2927
cardiologist is the one to ask? my pcp will probably blow me off. I'm getting tested for pots next month and if it's the right specialist I'll probably bring it up at that appt♥ 1source record 3110

I thought people prone to fainting hated it because of the unbearable pain of feeling the reduced blood flow to your brain but apparently that part is uncommon.♥ 3source record 4424
everything is treatable (and curable, they just don't want us cured lol). do you get migraines? cause some of mine are so painful, they've woken me up from a dead sleep. But also drop my BP, which can lead to fainting. DM me whenever with your symptoms and maybe we can narrow stuff down♥ 0source record 4425
Oh my gosh, I am SO SORRY. I suspect I have POTS but I’m not sure. The fainting is searing pain for me and I wasn’t able to identify it exactly until I doctor explained what I felt happening. But yes, it’s like that!♥ 1source record 4431

The long road to a diagnosis

101 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: The long road to a diagnosis

What the pattern means: The route from assumption to diagnosis, and the accounts share a structure: a lifelong experience, an offhand remark from someone else, then a formal name. The most illustrative is a commenter who assumed people claiming to enjoy running were lying, because running had always tasted of blood.

What commenters described: I’ve always done this, and recently just got diagnosed with OCD lmao

Limit: These are personal diagnostic histories; the same symptom can have several causes.

What the replies added2

That sound like a fake disease for kid to avoid exercise lol. Can't believe it's real 😂😂. Well i do have hive after exercise so guess anything is possible at this point 😂😂😂

From the replies♥ 3

No! No benadryl!! I was taking 1/2 pill just to survive for so long until I found out a few years ago that it’s been linked to Alzheimer’s!

Where commenters report limits

Explicit limit or counterpoint

dysautonomia. my daughter has inappropriate sinus tachycardia and vaso vagal syncope. once at work after a code her pulse was 235. unfortunately doctors don't seem too concerned.

I was diagnosed by a neurologist who told me that fibromyalgia is inflammation in the spinal cord that irritates the surrounding nerves, caused by trauma, and because so many women are survivors of SA, CSA, and DV, that’s why fibro patients are primarily female. He’s the first doctor who treated me as a whole person, and addressed the root cause instead of just tossing pain pills at me.♥ 2source record 2507

ASMR. I started experiencing it in junior high when certain girls would whisper or tap their nails on their desk, etc. I'd get an intensely euphoric "pins & needles" feeling across my entire scalp & down my spine.

Migraines, auras and seizure events

75 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Migraines, auras and seizure events

What the pattern means: Visual and sensory events preceding or accompanying migraine, and the group is where commenters distinguish an aura from a seizure — a boundary several report having crossed without knowing it existed.

What commenters described: absense seizures, usually a sign of severe trauma, I have them often

Limit: Absence seizures and migraine aura are clinically distinct and both need proper assessment; commenters here are describing, not distinguishing.

What the replies added2

And its all in 100% color. No black and white, everything is very clear and I can sometimes recognize faces, though words are never actual letters.

From the replies

Also it was temporal lobe epilepsy! I typed it wrong whoops! Probably cause I'm constantly talking about frontal lobe development hahah

From the replies
✓ Supported, with contextWhat the evidence says: Absence seizures and some focal seizures can look like brief staring, unresponsiveness, or a loss of awareness, so the described experience is plausible. Daydreaming and other medical or psychological conditions can look similar, however; the symptom alone does not diagnose epilepsy and warrants clinical evaluation if recurrent.

absense seizures, usually a sign of severe trauma, I have them often♥ 41source record 18
I’m an optometry student. It’s probably Divergence Excess, which is a Binocular Vision disorder. Not harmful at all!! And more common than one would think.♥ 5source record 20
With absence seizures, you can’t “snap” out of them 😭 yall gonna freak people outtttt♥ 3source record 72
That’s how I describe it but it only happens to me when I have migraines.♥ 17source record 423
That’s the aura vision from a migraine! Migraines with auras are the worse!!!!♥ 1source record 440
sounds like ocular migraines, i used to work as a Paraoptometric w eye drs.♥ 0source record 497
Told my eye doctor I had it all the time and he said “no you don’t. That’s impossible. Told him I also suffered from migraines and was getting an eye exam to rule that out. He said you can’t always have migraines too…🙄” 🥰♥ 2source record 500
I suffer from occasional migraines as well but I know now it is neurological what we see so possibly ocular migraines?♥ 2source record 501
That is probably migraine aura. I get a geometric spaceship with all the colors of the rainbow in like a strobe light effect, and black dots.♥ 4source record 529
Only when I’m about to have a migraine♥ 0source record 541
Me, my dad, and my brother all have it and always have. Must be genetic. It’s also related to something neurological and not anything to do with your ocular health apparently♥ 0source record 568
I have this and migraines but when the migraines are coming on the little squiggles invade my vision until I can’t see♥ 0source record 597
huh, yeah, i mean it isn't pleasant but also doesn't bug me. but I get migraines and vertigo and often puking once will fix the migraine 🤷‍♀️♥ 0source record 1725
It’s truly miserable. I’m going to ask my neurologist to increase my seizure meds (that treat the fibro pain) to control that sensation.♥ 1source record 2505
I get this too, then it's followed by a huge migraine a few hours later♥ 0source record 2933
This was seizures in my son. Might wanna talk with a neurologist♥ 10source record 3618
Look up juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Thought i was just clumsy until i started having seizures lol♥ 2source record 3942
Look into atonic and myoclonic seizures♥ 1source record 3973
i thought everyone zoned out and not realize anything that’s going on around them but turns out i’m epileptic and that was one type of seizure♥ 2source record 4508↑ Open the fact-check
I thought everyone's migraines were like mine. People pleaser in me thought I had to act like them even when mine where debilitating. slurring, auras, stroke like symptoms effecting one side of my body. 🫠 then questioning why it didnt take them 2-3 days to recover. I felt like a bus hit me!♥ 2source record 4510
i get migraines, but apparently not everyone goes blind right before they get them! (it’s like the snow effect but darker and takes up my whole vision)♥ 2source record 4576
I have an aura (it’s a neurological condition and causes ocular migraines)♥ 1source record 4922
I started seeing black spots and auras in my vision field since I was 9 or 10 years old I thought it was normal & others had it too. I remember I told a teacher & come to find out It was a migraine aura that occurred before the migraine started.♥ 1source record 5158
Nightmares every single night. Since I was a child. Only if I "garden" right before bed will I not have them. I've gone to doctors and they've tried all sorts of medications but none worked. Even tried a seizure medication and I don't have seizures. When I was a kid, I thought everyone had nightmares if they slept.♥ 1source record 5195
I didn’t know I was having small seizures until I was 14 because I thought everyone experienced them. My eyes roll back in my head for a few seconds and I breathe oddly or jerk a bit, but they’re so quick that my parents never noticed it. I asked my friends at a slumber party if they had them and they were like…. No 🫶🏻♥ 1source record 5268
Having only a few headaches a month, as someone with chronic migraines for 10+ years now and almost daily headaches. I can tune out normal headaches daily but if someone mentions them then I realize oh yeah I do have one♥ 1source record 5580
poor guy. I do have them all the time so I'm used to it. I can only imagine the dread knowing you're about to have a migraine though.♥ 1source record 5672
My husband has them before migraines.♥ 0source record 5673
I have had the static things that are c shaped and start small and the C gets bigger until it moves out of my line of vision. I googled it before and it said it is an ocular migraine. I may or may not have a headache with it.♥ 0source record 5693
pretty much all of my migraine symptoms 🤷‍♀️♥ 1source record 5704
My migraine symptoms are so freaking random♥ 0source record 5705
when i was young id be able to hear my head turn. i had a migraine the other day and it happened again, so ig thats a symptom of my migraines♥ 1source record 5956
Ocular migraines or aura migraines♥ 0source record 6049
It sucks I get it when I have a migraine♥ 0source record 6101
Ocular migraines♥ 0source record 6368
My brain would feel different and euphoric out of no where for a brief moment and then be back. Thought we all had that. It was frontal lobe epilepsy 🥰♥ 0source record 6465
Omg like a bad seizure?♥ 0source record 6466
Also it was temporal lobe epilepsy! I typed it wrong whoops! Probably cause I'm constantly talking about frontal lobe development hahah♥ 0source record 6467
Basically out of nowhere everything would feel extremely real, as in I was hyper aware of everything around me to the point that I would question if I was real and if the moment was experiencing was actually happening. And then after a moment it was gone. I couldn't explain it as a kid so I thought it was just a thing we all had, a glitch if you will. But one day I asked my sister "does your brain ever blink? Like you blink and everything in your brain is different for a few seconds and then it's back?" She did not know what I meant at all and I never brought it up again LOL eventually I found the moments very cool to experience until eventually a neurologist explained it was a form of a seizure LOL most grow out of it by adulthood which I did. Low key miss those moments tho lol♥ 0source record 6468
I thought people deal with headaches regularly. I have a migraine 4 days a week and my friends haven’t had a headache in years♥ 0source record 6510

Seizures lolz♥ 0source record 7087
I’m pregnant and have epilepsy, my dreams are so vivid and lately in them sometimes someone will tell me I have to go or something similar than my alarm will go off♥ 0source record 7116
Flashing lights are painful for me now. I don’t have seizures but I’m now afraid I could have one♥ 0source record 7327
Absent seizures. Thought everyone had these ‘till I was diagnosed with epilepsy 😅♥ 0source record 7329
Migraine WITH aura. It’s the literal worst♥ 0source record 7334
When the light flashes through the trees when driving by I always got jumpy. Turns out I have epilepsy and the strobe effects messed with me 🫠♥ 0source record 7363
That could be a migraine♥ 0source record 7546
I thought it was normal to not do normal activities cause you don’t want to cause a migraine. Come to find out there are people who never get headaches.♥ 0source record 7619
migraine auras, I genuinely just thought it was normal to have blind spots in my vision 😭♥ 0source record 7620
I get small seizures whenever I have new experiences- especially touching new textures for the first time♥ 0source record 7807
Ocular Migrianes lol. yikes♥ 0source record 7835

I get ocular migraines 😫 they don't always hurt and they only last about and hour or so.♥ 0source record 8061
Getting a headache or migraine routinely after school/work days.♥ 0source record 8078
When I was little I would have these episodes where I would feel like I wasn’t part of the real world. The only way I could describe it was that I felt like a doll on a shelf and things were happening around me. It’s so hard to describe but it freaked me out so bad when I was in 2nd grade that the nurse sent me home. Not sure if it was related to my migraines but it hasn’t happened in years.♥ 0source record 8221
Well, I didn't learn til I was an adult that my Temporal Lobe Seizures were in fact seizures and not just a normal thing that happens to people when they're tired, stressed, or hungry. I did try talking to my Mom about it when I was like 12 and she said that sounded demonic. 😭♥ 0source record 8253
Aura migraines with no migraine. I just get the fun floating blob of lights with no pain.♥ 0source record 8264
Aura migraines. The hardest thing to explain to someone what happens to your vision. Mine never comes with a headache, it’s just visual.♥ 0source record 8268
Good to know I have a lot of the same problems as people in the comments. I do have a neurological disorder however (hemiplegic migraine. Body mimics strokes) and there’s not enough research on if. Just whenever IVE explained anything i had gone through, I’m basically made out to being anxious or lying 😒♥ 0source record 8353
Apparently it’s common, but no one around me has had this: a scintillating scotoma (visual aura) every time a migraine starts. It makes it really hard to see correctly.♥ 0source record 8427
Idk if this counts but I thought headaches were normal. And everyone had them and whenever someone said theirs were debilitating I always thought they were being a baby until I was diagnosed with ms and went on migraine management and know what it feels like to not have a headache.♥ 0source record 8528
Migraines with actual vision loss - I barely get the headache but I’m literally blinded for about 30 minutes, still terrifies me every time♥ 0source record 8625
Shaking uncontrollably lol turns out it was epilepsy♥ 0source record 8803
I learned into my mid 20s that my memory is really fucked. So many people around me would ask "hey, you remember that time?" or perhaps would talk about something from their childhood and it amazed me how well they could remember things so long ago. Then I found out most people can do this, and that my memory issues are likely due to a malformation of my hippocampus which also causes me seizures.♥ 0source record 8862
I have such a weird understanding of my body’s cues and weird perception of pain that I didn’t realize I was having chronic migraines with aura for at least two and a half years 😅♥ 0source record 8956
The singing repetitively is giving me a migraine so I mute syndrome it so I could continue reading responses♥ 0source record 8969
getting the burning feeling + smell of inhaling chlorine water like you're being thrown into a public pool. I still don't know what it is, but my AP Psych teacher was who told me that it wasn't normal and was most likely seizures because it's followed by disorientation and confusion 🙃♥ 0source record 9103
Migraine when you cry♥ 0source record 9306
Getting stuck in a frustrating part of a dream that keeps repeating because I’m uncomfortable, usually due to a migraine. Unless other people get this?♥ 0source record 9308
Definitely thought everyone got migraines, not everyone gets migraines♥ 0source record 9330
suddenly forgetting where i am turns out it’s micro seizures 😁♥ 0source record 9561
Aura with a migraine, not necessarily uncommon but I thought they always went together♥ 0source record 9778
Can’t cross the street without feeling this weird unsteadiness also store lights throw me off and make me feel weird so cant really walk right in stores but it’s been happening my whole life thought it was normal cant even hold conversations. Always stared off into space thinking that was normal and thought everyone just experienced these issues. Nope I was having absence seizures.. my whole life.. diagnosis: focal cortical dysplasia. 🙃 (I did have three grand mal as a teenager but was quickly cleared with no diagnosis until now: doctors suck) it took me being pregnant and having these episodes everyday for my obgyn to tell me hey that’s not normal see a neurologist again👌♥ 0source record 9916

Bendy joints — EDS and hypermobility

41 source records
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Bendy joints — EDS and hypermobility

What the pattern means: Childhood party tricks reinterpreted: unusual joint range treated as a novelty until connected to a hypermobility condition. Commenters describe partial or informal diagnoses and the practical obstacle to confirming them.

What commenters described: I learned a few years ago that my "fun part tricks" as a kid were 100% EDS. I got a soft diagnosis from a PT but can't find affordable genetic testing.

Limit: One commenter reports being unable to afford genetic testing to confirm a suspected diagnosis, which is where several of these accounts stop.

So since I was a little kid I could pop my joints out of socket, right? It was just a hilarious party trick… until I turned 35-ish and they started dislocating on their own. Usually in my sleep. Yeah so… I have hEDS.♥ 0source record 6279

Elbow hypermobility. I thought everyone’s elbows could twist around completely to appear “backwards,” some people call it being double-jointed.

Hearing that runs loud, muffled or sideways

293 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Hearing that runs loud, muffled or sideways

What the pattern means: Hearing that behaves unlike other people's — the corpus's most-discussed sensory category. The recurring specific is temporary hearing loss during a yawn or stretch, assumed universal, alongside the discovery that some people experience genuine mental quiet.

What commenters described: I find it fascinating that you hear nothing in your mind, how peaceful that must be. My mind is constantly running and I’m OK with that… I think it’s because I’m always looking for the next thing to do and I usually have a good time doing it…

What the replies added2

It “scratches” my throat! Like it doesn’t actually, but it feels like it does

Tinnitus — silence was never silent

190 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Tinnitus — silence was never silent

What the pattern means: Carries the corpus's most-liked comment: the question of whether other people hear silence as an actual sound. What makes the group significant is the scale of agreement — a constant internal tone that a very large number of commenters had never thought to mention.

What commenters described: Does anybody else hear silence?? I swear it as an actual sound.

Limit: Persistent tinnitus can indicate hearing damage or other conditions and is worth assessing rather than assuming.

What the replies added2

SAME! whichever ear it does it in, it fades back in and the opposite ear starts to ring and go deaf it's sooo weird, like it passed thru my brain. I have an appt next week 🤞🏼

Pushback

If I’m listening to a song or podcast it’ll take me back to driving my Amazon truck route listening to them in the exact spot/neighborhood I was in and what I was doing, the weather outside, what I was wearing. I stopped working there in December.

I think it was this one, but I’m not entirely sure but even if it’s not the same, I think it has the same premise—”Targeted” 2018-individuals who believe they are victims of electronic harassment and mind control, often reporting symptoms such as hearing voices and being manipulated through directed energy weapons. this one might be on that same wavelengt too: “Resonance: Beings of Frequency”♥ 11source record 1670

Tinnitus. I thought everybody’s ears rang all the time.♥ 0source record 7349
I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember. I thought everyone heard ringing in their ears until my ex-husband told me that was not normal♥ 0source record 7362
Silence is never just silence, there’s always a constant subtle ringing or odd room tone in my ears and I actually still dunno if that’s normal or not😭♥ 0source record 7403
Constant tinnitus all the time every day my whole life♥ 0source record 7420
I also saw people sharing their experience with hearing static or ringing from tinnitus. Does anybody hear voices? I always feel like I can hear a distant conversation happening. Sounds creepy, but it’s not. Like I know it’s my mind making it up, but I always hear it when the room is quiet. I also always hear a slight ringing, but I’m pretty sure that’s from a previous job I had. lol♥ 0source record 7423
😂 okay so it’s probably my tinnitus. I worked in a lab that had a machine that went over 85dB. With zero hearing proctection I’d chill in the room for 1-2 hrs every day for 5 years. I didn’t think it was that bad. 😬 Safe to say there’s some damage there.♥ 0source record 7424

I have to read lips, otherwise I can’t make out what most people are saying. I have great hearing, I just can’t hear articulation very well.

Lately, I haven’t been listening to music or watching a show whenever I’m on my phone, so my mind isn’t used to hearing noise 24/7 anymore.

I have no idea what this is.♥ 0source record 8578

Hearing electricity, hums and frequencies

45 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Hearing electricity, hums and frequencies

What the pattern means: Hearing electrical equipment before seeing it, and commenters date it precisely: audible on older cathode-ray televisions and not on flat screens, which suggests they were detecting a genuine high-frequency emission rather than imagining it.

What commenters described: I could hear if a tv was on in a house as a kid, even if it was on mute/a blank screen. Like just the static from it being on. Not with flat screens tho. Just the old box tvs.

What the replies added1

At about age 35 I thought wow technology has really improved. I can't hear security cameras and CCTV anymore. But nope, with aging I lost hearing that high pitched squeal.

Ear party tricks — wiggling, popping and cracking on demand

36 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Ear party tricks — wiggling, popping and cracking on demand

What the pattern means: Voluntary control of muscles most people cannot reach, including the vestigial ear muscle commenters identify by name. Alongside it sit involuntary clicks and sounds located near the jaw and neck, most often when hungry.

What commenters described: when I'm really hungry I can hear clicking that sounds like it's coming from the back of my neck. it kind of sounds like a rain stick or something dripping down my brain stem. turns out it's not an everybody thing

What the replies added2

Same! And sometimes I watch episodes from totally unrelated shows from different decades a day or two apart, and the same obscure topic comes up—like anthracite mining or something. So freaky and soooo pointless.

From the replies

Apparently it has to do with moving an inner-ear muscle that many people can’t control on command!

Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: The voluntary ear-rumble and thunder ears

What the pattern means: The ear rumble specifically — a low sound commenters can trigger deliberately and which also fires involuntarily during a yawn, stretch, or when using vibrating tools. It is one of the clearest cases here of a shared ability most people never mention.

What commenters described: Yeah, it totally happens when I yawn. I can control it normally, but it happens involuntarily when I use my nail dremel or am sanding something?? So bizarre...like my inner ear muscles don't like the sound??!!

Sounds that hit the whole body — chills, rage and tingles

22 source records
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Sounds that hit the whole body — chills, rage and tingles

What the pattern means: Sound producing whole-body responses rather than just hearing — shivers, itching ears, and in some accounts anger. Commenters express genuine sadness that others do not get chills from music, treating it as something missing rather than merely different.

What commenters described: When I clean my ears, it makes me shiver. When I’m eating really good food my ears itch.

I didn’t know that not everyone can feel music and that’s soooo sad to me. Like certain peoples voices or songs will give me chills and make me so emotional or I can feel the lyrics in my soul like a mourning feeling it’s crazy

Just learned after 15 years that Misophonia is a real thing and my husband is not just overreacting to sounds. Oops 😬♥ 2source record 4570
That I get a feeling which I think are chills when I listen to a song I really like or relate to. Idk if it’s just me being a music head that is the reason for this or what 😂♥ 2source record 4709
some people don't get chills when listening to music and that makes me sad 😭♥ 2source record 4746
I thought everyone hated other people eating around them like I do. I cannot be eating with anyone around me without turning in some music or talking as I cannot stand the chewing, biting, eating sounds. Come to find out, no one around me is bothered by others eating. It makes me angry.♥ 2source record 4775
Learning what misophonia was and that I wasn’t just crazy for getting anxiety/rage over a simple sound was game changing♥ 1source record 5098
Strong emotions, especially brought on by music or a really intense movie scene that I’m wrapped up in give me tingles so bad my skull actually feels like it hurts, but in a good way.♥ 0source record 6159

Do all people get chills with music?♥ 0source record 6619
Misophonia♥ 0source record 6871
Misophonia to the point where I would burst out in rage. Thankfully as I’ve grown up I’ve learned some healthier coping mechanisms or just totally remove myself from the situation♥ 0source record 7044
I have misophonia and as a kid I ate away from the family because I couldn't stand it.♥ 0source record 7164
I thought it was normal to have a constant barrage of thoughts, songs, noises, and quotes playing over each other, over and over again nonstop. Never knew what “normal” felt like till adderall, and even now I’m scared of getting addicted to it 😅♥ 0source record 7533

There’s something about certain sounds that gives me full body chills. Like crows calling. 🐦‍⬛ back of my neck, all the way down my legs.♥ 0source record 9596
I thought everyone feels chills vibrating thru their body when certain music comes on♥ 0source record 9786
That happens to me but with small fragments of songs they drive me crazy until I get stuck with another song or sometimes words♥ 0source record 9855
I thought everyone got excruciating rage when they heard annoying sounds like chewing, breathing, repetitive tapping, etc... I found out I have Misophonia it's a nightmare to have and I don't wish it up on anyone. Same with repetitive movements and fidgeting that's called Misokinesia♥ 0source record 9992

One-eye mysteries and other eyesight surprises

271 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: One-eye mysteries and other eyesight surprises

What the pattern means: The most-liked realisation in the corpus by a wide margin: that discomfort with eye contact is not universal, and that other people are not pushing through the same difficulty. Several describe finding out in circumstances that made it costly.

What commenters described: For the longest I thought everyone struggled with eye contact & that it made all of us super uncomfortable but we all just pushed through the uncomfyness 😭

What the replies added2

I have the opposite problem where I don't have a problem with eye contact but I'm afraid other people think I'm too intense 😭

Pushback♥ 30

A guy from my church came with a broken blood vessel in both eyes and said - nah I’m fine, I just had the stomach flu.

when i think specifically about eternity and how long it is, my eyes do this weird flip thing where it looks similar to when you’re about to pass out. they almost stagger in a way but i always feel fine. not sure why that’s the trigger

I discovered this as a kid after playing in the pool, I’d lay in the sun with the towel over my eyes & I swear I could see the microscopic parts in the towel. I never tried to explain it bc I knew adults would laugh at me.💀♥ 2source record 459
Same! I would tell my eye doctor and my friends it feels like a filter 🙃🙃 and no one got it lolll♥ 2source record 496

Yesss when I was like five, I tried to explain to my mom that it looks like an old movie, she got my eyes checked and was so confused bc everything was fine♥ 26source record 521
I had this when I was younger. Turns out it was my eyes’ way of trying to make sense of my vision, which was getting very bad very fast. It went away over time after I got glasses.♥ 1source record 537
My eldest daughter has this and her eye doctor said it is very rare 🥲♥ 0source record 554
OMG I HAVE THIS!!! My mom was taking me to eye doctors and everything 😭I didn’t tell her ab it until maybe a year or two after I noticed bc I thought it was normal💀💀I was a kid, I’m 21 and I still have them. I’ve just learned to block it out♥ 0source record 582

I didn’t know I had an eye contact problem until I joined the military…bad place to find that out♥ 1,449source record 662
Wait, why do you have to make eye contact in the military?♥ 3source record 671
But I also found out some ppl find eye contact as flirting so I’m back to avoiding for some ppl😒♥ 86source record 679
I literally can’t focus on what I want to say if I make eye contact.♥ 53source record 680

I cannot flirt AT ALL because of eye contact. It scares me♥ 18source record 683
it was always my mom saying look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you.. it was definitely trauma induced for me. I was told it was respectful and polite.. but she would say it when she was mad♥ 6source record 684
I wasn't making the eye contact to notice everyone else was 😬♥ 0source record 686
Even on FaceTime with my long distance crush, like the connection I can feel between us by just looking in his eyes and unsaid emotions…wow. It’s part of how I knew… I know he can see it on me too the same way so I look away if I say something flirty or that makes me shy♥ 0source record 687
Before I got contacts I couldn’t see where someone’s eyes were and saw double a lot (I didn’t know which to look at 🤣) and since I got them and can see, the amount of emotion I can see now beyond what they say when I can actually look in their eyes is unreal the eyes speak volumes♥ 0source record 688
Going through CSA and also being on the spectrum makes eye contact difficult. I have to work hard to get in a socially appropriate amount of it.♥ 0source record 689
I hate eye contact it’s so invasive♥ 0source record 690
Hold up…not everyone struggles with eye contact?!?♥ 0source record 692
The only reason why I ever break eye contact is because I’m worried the other person is uncomfortable but naturally I never break eye contact 😭♥ 0source record 694
If you don’t feel comfortable looking people in the eye look at the space in between their eyes and they’ll never know♥ 0source record 696
i lose my vision instead♥ 0source record 780
A meme or something made me realize this. I then confirmed with my sister that she wasn’t seeing what I was seeing. Go to the eye doctor. I was prescribed glasses for driving at night and it really helps - a whole new world 😂♥ 102source record 891
Can you wear the glasses with your contacts?♥ 0source record 893
I don’t wear contacts. I only wear glasses because of this - so I only have night glasses for driving. They are useful generally at night where there are lights - like even at a play I’ve found them helpful♥ 1source record 894
I believe with insurance you can get new glasses every year or so. So maybe you can get a driving pair if your other prescription still works fine♥ 0source record 896
it is an uneven curvature of your cornea or lens.♥ 1source record 899
I have excellent night vision until someone turns on their lights. I hate headlights. They make it impossible to see at night.♥ 0source record 906
I was basically blind at night when I used to drive. I couldnt see anything .♥ 0source record 911
I don’t see the characters in my mind’s eye. I don’t have a mind’s eye. But I still have my own idea of what they should look like based on what I read and I’m still typically horribly disappointed in movie adaptations of those characters.♥ 0source record 920
I do it to, I would ask my siblings if they can do it and they don’t know what I’m talking about. I can do it without ever crossing my eyes♥ 22source record 1055
stop i just recorded myself doing it to check and my eyes didn’t cross but my pupils shrunk and dilated like a camera lense 😭😭😭♥ 3source record 1059
Is t this just changing the depth of your focus point? I thought everyones eyes can do this♥ 0source record 1064
Wait! 🥺 it’s not just ME?! 😭 I’ve been thinking I’m some sort of sociopath monster 😭 how can i love someone so much AND be out of sight out of mind about them?! 😭♥ 3source record 1571
Sometimes it’s not just the first impression, but I can discern how a person is based off of their eyes. I don’t even know how to explain it further - it’s just a ‘knowing.’♥ 0source record 1683
I’m am the most aggressive, loudest puker I know… I literally cannot help it, I break blood vessels in my eyes.♥ 5source record 1758
A guy from my church came with a broken blood vessel in both eyes and said - nah I’m fine, I just had the stomach flu.♥ 0source record 1788
They aren’t “seeing” things with their eyes though, it’s still black behind their eyelids, but they see with their mind’s eye.♥ 5source record 1830

Yes! I could be blind or blind folded and still know!♥ 3source record 2168
I've always wondered why my vision does this, but I have "perfect" vision 😅♥ 0source record 2344
I'm afraid to drive at night in traffic. Oncoming headlights literally blind me.♥ 1source record 2366
I always had 20/20 and never mentioned the nighttime thing because I thought that’s what everyone sees 😭🤣🤣♥ 1source record 2370
I thought everyone had this. Bothers me really bad at night. Doctor said my eyes are perfect except for a freckle on my left eyeball. That's rare apparently.♥ 0source record 2378
yes, like you can see individual beams of light coming from the light source. try looking at your eyes in a steamy mirror after a shower, with a light on above you. it looks like your eyes glow!♥ 1source record 2397
You need glasses♥ 0source record 2401
I have this, I wear night vision driving glasses and it helps if it’s hindering you from driving at night!♥ 5source record 2403
as I get older, they are getting worse. that's no easy "fix" I'm told. like they should be able to replace your eye fluid by now. dang♥ 0source record 2462

I go blind for a bit when I rub my eyes… is that normal?♥ 0source record 2824

Waking up with a different song in my head everyday. Doesn’t have to be something I heard recently. Every morning, the moment I open my eyes, I have a song playing for that day. I used to ask my friends what their song of the day was & they were confused.♥ 2source record 4068
when I go outside after being in a building for a while the sun light or something really hurts my eyes♥ 1source record 4076
I didn’t realize most of y’all could actually see things in your minds. Whenever we were told to close our eyes and “ picture this” I thought we were just closing our eyes for like… the vibes? Not to actually see it in our heads cause I can’t see anything in there♥ 3source record 4127
I’ve never once gotten a brain freeze but my right eye freezes instead. It hurts so badly and then my vision is spotty for a second. It’s called an optic nerve freeze and it has something to be with my nerves being like twisted up♥ 1source record 4131

When I’m concentrating my eyes will like idk if it’s my vision going black for a split sec or my eyes shifting really fast for a split sec♥ 0source record 4352
I see eyes in the corners of my vision when I rub my eyes hard♥ 3source record 4388
I thought everyone else’s senses were connected too😭 When I lost my taste and smell with Covid I swear my vision became more dull like I couldn’t see colors as bright and no one would believe me🥲still don’t have my smell at 100% but colors are back to normal it could’ve also been a side effect of covid who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️♥ 3source record 4390
if i squeeze my eyes shut, i can make a thundering noise in my skull. i also get the specific cadence someone says something stuck in my head like a song.♥ 3source record 4395
I thought everyone saw different colors out of each eye. Not even the eye docs understand.♥ 3source record 4404
blacking out/tunnel vision every time I stand up, no matter how short the sit-down was. yes every time. It only lasts a few seconds so I just ignore it. no, I haven't told my doctor lol♥ 3source record 4434
I can be reading or someone can be describing something and it plays in front of my eyes.. like a movie. The kids love saying things knowing I’ll see it play out 😂♥ 2source record 4448
Everytime I rub my eye it makes a squeaky noise. My friends make fun of it everytime♥ 2source record 4462
I can make my self go into third person on will without closing my eyes it feels like astral projection but like it's whatever my brain generates if I start going to far into places I haven't seen before or if I got lost. All while being conscious, love to know what this is called btw♥ 2source record 4535
I thought everyone experienced face blindness. I told my friend about how my dad made a surprise visit and when he showed up on my doorstep I thought he was a stranger until my husband gave him a hug and I told joy then did I realize who he was. My friend didn't laugh or agree with me that it was normal 😅 Now I am coming to terms with the fact that I am really bad at recognizing people, even my loved ones lol♥ 2source record 4643
I can hear my eyes blink and many other internal body noises. Turns out I have superior canal dehiscence♥ 2source record 4727
Sometimes I get a medium-ish sized black blind spot, usually in the middle of my field of vision. Goes away after like an hour but for that period of time I can’t really do anything and it’s hard to explain to people♥ 2source record 4728
In the pic it looks like you’re clickin your eye too haha♥ 0source record 4774
I can hear my eyes move.♥ 2source record 4807
The inner corner of my eye squeaks when I press on it. My eye dr was so shocked when I showed her and everyone always freaks out when I do it 😂♥ 1source record 4871
With eye contact I feel like I’m focusing or only looking at, one eye on the person I’m talking to, then i get super uncomfortable that they can notice it?? Still don’t know if it’s true or normal😂♥ 1source record 4900
I thought everyone forced their eyes to focus 😭♥ 1source record 4905
Does anyone else eyes itch when they get stuck in a gaze and then can’t move. I be feeling like the government paused me for a software update or something♥ 1source record 5010
I thought everyone has moments where their vision goes out and their ears start ringing and they can't move. apparently not...♥ 1source record 5040
I can stare until all my vision turns completely white and it'll return to normal in an instant when I choose♥ 1source record 5056

being time blind. has it been 5 minutes or 30? idk.♥ 1source record 5177
I can see my pulse in my eyes sometimes.♥ 1source record 5216
Has anybody ever been talking to someone and they feel far away? This often happened to me when I was younger and my mom was yelling at me. I would be looking at her standing right in front of me but it felt like she was so far away, almost like i was looking through my eyes from my brains point of view.♥ 1source record 5222
I was 8 when I was staring at something so hard my vision went black. I was fully aware but couldnt see. It was calming and it’s now a ritual when I take baths and stare at the faucet. What is this? 🤣🫣♥ 1source record 5261
Sometimes i can see my eyes bouncing from my heart pounding (like my vision bouncing)♥ 1source record 5325

Floaters, halos and astigmatism light shows

120 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Floaters, halos and astigmatism light shows

What the pattern means: Night driving as the shared symptom — every light becoming a large glare, assumed to be what night driving simply is. The group also carries a useful correction: astigmatism can coexist with 20/20 vision, which is why many went uncorrected.

What commenters described: I thought everyone struggled to see at night while driving. Every light is a huge glare, thanks astigmatism.

Limit: Glare and halos around lights should be assessed by an optometrist; several here drove for years assuming it was normal.

What the replies added2

Bro that’s so cool that your Dr gave you night glasses. I told my eye dr about this and they said “there’s nothing much we can do except put anti glare on your lenses” and it did nothing 😭

I get almost black eyes when throwing up. little tiny dots of broken blood vessels from straining. sometimes around my mouth/neck

I thought this was my astigmatism as well- until I was diagnosed with BVD and got prima lenses. NO MORE GLARE AT NIGHT NOW! Amazing! Ppl say it’s astigmatism but if you have lenses or contacts to fix it, it shouldn’t be causing a glare still- ask about prism on your lenses.♥ 0source record 907

there’s a little dot that flies around and I always think it’s a bug and it’s not… just something that just tracks and follows in my line of sight, idk how to get rid of it and I also can’t control when it comes. I can go months without and boom it’s back!♥ 0source record 6430

Sister was convinced alien ships were hovering over us at all times outside and couldn't understand why no one would speak about it or acknowledge them.

Turned out the hovering alien orbs she was seeing everywhere were just blurry as hell streetlights because she needed some glasses REAL bad.♥ 0source record 6854
I didn’t realize people see lights normal and not like a bunch of lines. It was my astigmatism the whole time 😂♥ 0source record 6885

Haven’t seen this one but sometimes looking at a horizon and moving fast (skiing/driving) I start blacking out and can’t see at all but the blackness is in a honeycomb shape.

I have a lot of health problems but I thought headaches behind your eyes and seeing floating dots/getting dizzy when you stand were both very common things… my husband is 32 and had both of them happen to him for the first time this year and he was very concerned, even more so that those happen to me frequently…♥ 0source record 8378
I get visual auras and I always thought that’s what people meant when they had an eye floater 😪♥ 0source record 8515
Eyelashes are so long I can see them in my vision at any waking moment. I can blur them out so it’s not a big deal but I notice them when looking at any light source. They also made me think I had astigmatism♥ 0source record 8584

No clue what it is or why it happens, but ever since I was a kid I’ve seen translucent blobs of green floating across my vision at night. They move independently from my eye movements (not like floaters, which I also have lol) and they usually don’t take up my whole field of vision unless I don’t blink of a really long time. As a kid I thought I was developing night vision since it kinda looks like the green in night vision goggles, and the fact that I also just have naturally good vision at night didn’t help haha♥ 0source record 9023
i have a smoky spot in my eye so if i kind of blur my eyes on purpose i see a few black dots wandering around♥ 0source record 9065
I used to have floaters as a kid and thankfully grew out of it. It was terrifying, felt like I was seeing bugs or something appear in my view♥ 0source record 9132
1) astigmatism 2) being able to intentionally blur your vision...wym that's not common?♥ 0source record 9144

Static, snow, sparkles and seeing the air

110 source recordsDisputed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Static, snow, sparkles and seeing the air

What the pattern means: Persistent visual static, and this group has the corpus's most abrupt discoveries — commenters learning in adulthood, sometimes from a passing remark, that the grain they see over everything is not what everyone sees. Several describe the moment as genuinely destabilising.

What commenters described: Visual snow syndrome. I found out when I was 27 that hardly anyone else sees the world like that

Limit: Visual snow can be persistent and is worth investigating; commenters report finding the name long before any clinical explanation.

Feeling like I have air in my eyes or something, I can't even really describe it, wouldn't know how to describe it to a doctor, and when I make the feeling go away it comes back seconds later. It goes on practically all day, occurs in one eye at a time, isn't painful, and I've dealt with it my whole life and therefore thought it was normal.♥ 0source record 6184

Okay, this might sound really weird, but sometimes right before falling asleep, I’d get this intense feeling where everything around me felt overly sharp, like when you turn the “sharpen” filter all the way up on a photo. But it wasn’t just something I could see, I could physically feel it too (I know, weird). It was like the whole world suddenly became too crisp, almost painfully clear. Then, just as quickly, everything would shift into this soft, fuzzy, dream like texture. I also used to get this other feeling where I’d vividly imagine a giant ball rolling down a hill, and I was inside it, tiny, spinning in the center, while this huge ball is rolling down a hill like street. It was so weird and so scary I could never really explain it… I’d have other instances where I just felt tiny and everything around me turned big it wasn’t necessarily a visual. Reading through these comments, I think it might’ve been Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, or maybe even some form of visual snow effect, or both happening at once 😭♥ 0source record 6830

Sometimes when I poop, tears flow from my eyes. Not from pain and not from emotion. But for some reason the act of pooping triggers intense tears from my body that if anyone were to accidentally open the door-they’d worry. I don’t know how to explain this; there is no ill will here, it’s not because I’m “so relieved I cried”. For absolute no conscious reason, tears flow.

What the pattern means: Deliberately blurring vision, and the group contains its own disagreement about whether this is unusual at all — one commenter insisting everyone can do it by relaxing the eyes. That dispute is the finding: the ability is common but rarely discussed.

What commenters described: I can willingly blur my vision people look at me crazy when I tell them I can do this 🤣

Color, sound, POV and other dream settings

198 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Color, sound, POV and other dream settings

What the pattern means: Dreams differing in their basic settings — colour, sound, and point of view — with commenters discovering these are not standardised. The heaviest accounts describe dreaming continuously all night and waking exhausted by it.

What commenters described: Same and then I dream ALL night. There’s never a time I fear I’m just peacefully shaleeping! 😬 I’m exhausted over here of thinking.

Limit: One account attributes a particular dream quality to substance use during recovery, which is a specific rather than general cause.

What’s weird for me is memories are 3rd person. But my dreams vary. Like I can be 3rd person, first person, or the weirdest- I can dream that I am someone else but I’m standing there talking my real self and looking at her. As if she isn’t me.♥ 1source record 1185

i do this too, i kinda just make up my own dream and when i start falling asleep i slowly lose control of it until it’s an actual dream♥ 2source record 1308
I def used to do this growing up because it would take me forever to fall asleep, so instead of getting frustrated I would ‘night’dream and it would eventually help me fall asleep. I have only recently stopped in my adulthood because it’s a little easier for me to fall asleep now.♥ 2source record 1310
I’ve done this recently and it has become so real to me. Perhaps we are living this dream simultaneously in another dimension? It’s fascinating to me.♥ 2source record 1314
False Awakenings. I used to get up and get ready for school and do my daily routine. Then my mom would come and shake me awake and tell me to go get ready. I used to be so mad at her because I thought I already did all these things but then I’d realize I was basically dreaming the whole time.♥ 316source record 1374
I started looking for something that’s off so I can tell if I am actually awake or not. Last time it happened I asked my boyfriend for his phone password and it was the wrong one and I just started wiggling myself out of the dream and it took me what felt like 5 mins 🙃 lmao♥ 0source record 1377

This, I get this once in a while but it's never bad. I will dream of a thing and it might be months before I experience the dream in person and usually my body from my belly/ chest starts to tingle to my nogging. It's usually just a mundane thing that is happening, nothing prophetic♥ 0source record 3178
Mine happens about a week in advance. I have a dream and 7 days later it'll happen irl . It's always the most mundane things too, never anything important♥ 3source record 3187
Omgggg I get this on the inside of my wrists! But only when I’m, like, petrified. Like almost just died in a car crash or just woke up from an awful dream. My wrists with zap or like tingle and it feels like there’s something on my veins. I always thought it was adrenaline (which is probs is) but no one has EVER known what I’m talking about lol. Maybe it just happens to them in a different spot.♥ 3source record 3311
Omg I do this all the time and fly all the time. It feels so incredibly real. I can also physically feel sensations in my dreams like if someone hugs me, I truly feel it.♥ 2source record 3379

My brain is never quiet, I wasn’t aware that people had quiet moments in their head. From the moment I wake up until I fall asleep there’s noise, and in my dreams as well♥ 2source record 4491
I have a dream map with reoccurring places and loop holes that take me to different places in my dreams. I also have the same type of dream (t-rex chasing me) in lots of different locations and if i ever get caught it just restarts until i dont get caught. 😳♥ 2source record 4507

in the middle of my dreams i’ll pause everything, take a second to reflect and choose what i want to happen next, and then make the dream keep going♥ 2source record 4545
Being able to taste, feel, smell and open computers in my dreams. I have had several dreams where I just watch nonexistent YouTube videos, some where I got hurt and woke up with the pain, it’s getting difficult to differentiate them from reality♥ 2source record 4577

Having dreams in a different body. It's like if I hopped into someone else's dream. I'm surrounded by their family, their friends, a completely different culture, and I don't know them. I've never even seen them in my life. It's like if I'm always in the background, almost like if I'm narrating the dream, but I'm not myself, I'm one of them. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it feels like a movie or video game.♥ 2source record 4808

Apparently, my brain creates an excess of adrenaline, but not enough to quicken my heart rate, just enough so that I don't sleep properly. If I lay down in dark and silence, my brain will not allow me to sleep. I have to force my brain to think about dreaming to fall asleep.♥ 1source record 5009

Dreaming. I live a full on life in another realm somewhere in my dream world and apparently not everyone does.

I go thru periods of time where everytime I sit on the toilet to pee, for a split second I feel like I’m not in the right place.

I don’t think I actually sleep. I just lay there “resting my body” trying to sleep. My mind is racing nonstop. I think about every situation and possible outcomes constantly. I will play out entire what ifs. I will have a vision or dream and come back to aware consciousness with only about 2-3 hours of missing time. (Probably sleeping) yes I see things and am quite delusional. I forget things often and put things in weird spots and lose them. It’s annoying af.

What commenters described: I thought everyone could lucid dream. Been doing so almost my whole life

What the replies added2

I lucid dream every time I dream which is actually exhausting. I feel like I never sleep!

From the replies♥ 41

As a child when I would have nightmares, I would tell myself “this isn’t real, you’re dreaming. Wake yourself up.” Then I kind of stretch my legs and that makes me wake up.

I lucid dream and also fly in my dreams, but I have to flap my arms like a bird. Sometimes it works but other times it feels really stressful/hard and I’m like “why is this not working tonight?”

I thought lucid dreaming was pretty normal for most people. I generally know I’m dreaming which makes it like a game.

It is extremely exhausting if it isn’t going on about something positive then it’s straight negativity always thinking the worse and it’s hard when you can’t just sleep like i don’t get how people just close there eyes and sleep I have to make a entire story with a plot or remind a memory or talk my head off about nothing so my brain gets tired of thinking and sleeps it’s never ending 24/7 then I also have hella vivid dreams since little I pretty much lucid dream every night and wake up remembering every detail about my dream then I stay thinking about that all day so it never shuts up when I sleep either♥ 1source record 96

My dreams. I dream I’m a different person, or in different times, or 3rd person. Male, female; old, young; different ethnicities & so on. I have new memories in my dreams and can recall past events I thought happened throughout my ‘life’ in my dreams. I also have intense nightmares, but I was also diagnosed with night terrors as a kid. I also remember all my dreams (as far as I’m aware), I have anywhere from 2-4 a night on average. And sometimes I dream in like… a more realistic version than real life? Like the air is almost static and I can see/feel the dots in the static all around me, maybe like molecules? And I can control the air to stop me from hitting the ground, etc., but I can’t actually control my dreams like lucid dreamers can. & my dreams are hard to tell apart from real life fssss. I almost never feel fully rested when I wake up though, it’s honestly so difficult to deal with them and sometimes I hate sleeping because of it. Esp bc of how graphic and traumatic my nightmares can be. I feel like I need a therapist just for my dreams 😭♥ 1source record 5454

Sometimes I get trapped in sleep where I’m aware I am sleeping or dreaming and I can’t move and it freaks me out but I am able to jerk my body to wake myself up. It’s different than sleep paralysis which I have also been able to wake up from doing the same jerking movement with my body. I can also consciously feel myself falling asleep sometimes and it’s terrifying. Like I’m slowly losing control of my consciousness.♥ 0source record 6119

I don't know what it's called but I go to sleep in my real life and wake up in my dream life VERY often. It's so realistic, I'm very aware that I start to look for things that don't make sense and I'll say something like "I don't have that chair in my living room" to wake myself up. It's EXHAUSTING and I hate sleeping because I feel I'm just as active as I am awake and don't get quality rest.♥ 0source record 6358
Lucid dreaming. I use to dream and if I didn’t like the dream, I would switch dreams to something I liked. Like if I had a scary dream, I would be aware of it and remember I could change it and then I would. I use to love to change it to one where I was flying. I don’t do it anymore… but when I was younger I thought everyone did it. I even remember seeing a classmate in one and telling her if she didn’t like the one we were in, she could change it.

Idk if this count but I’d have nights where I’m on the phone talking to someone, ofc the phones off but still like I’m on the phone. I’ll be sitting there talking and suddenly I can’t feel my phone in my hand and me waking up feels seemless. Idk if that’s lucid dreaming or what? I don’t feel asleep but I was. Even had conversations with my girlfriend in my sleep and wake up seemlessly saying things to her and her waking up confused on wtf I was saying♥ 0source record 7177
Can everyone else control their dreams pretty much completely? I make decisions in my dreams. I can hear my alarm and choose to ignore it. I can wake up, and if I liked my dream I can go back to sleep and continue. 🤷🏻‍♂️♥ 0source record 7179
Not weird per se… but lucid dreaming . My entire life I’ve been able to know when I’m dreaming, control my dreams, and walk outside of my body in my dreams . I also dream of real life places before I ever see them in real life (but never in the same context). I really thought this was normal until like 2019 .♥ 0source record 7237
That some people never have sleep paralysis or rarely get them. I get them all the time & taught myself how to wake up. I also dream very vividly all the time. Sometimes it's lucid and I know I'm dreaming or have dreams within a dream.♥ 0source record 7436

A have a reoccurring false awakening dream where I I wake up in my bed and go to check my phone and the screen brightness is turned down to the point that I can barely see it. I can tell if I’m in a dream if I go to turn my brightness up and it wont brighten. Then I have to try to wiggle my fingers and toes and try to move my body until I can force myself awake. It feels like my sleep paralysis experiences from my teen years and very annoying to try and get out of bed.♥ 11source record 1376

flying dreams and manipulating my dreams. it was a response to my night horrors I experienced as a child(prob from trauma). I still remember being about 4-5 yrs old and learning how to fly on the street I lived on at the time. I recall all those dreams from my childhood. my dreams were so realistic when I would get up in something high to jump to make it easier to catch air and fly, I would have to make sure it was a dream before I jumped. I had to convince myself in my dream that I was actually dreaming, it usually was me jumping and saying eff it if I fly ill know it's a dream. and I would fly. it took me years of practicing every night to get to the point where i could fly from the ground and was great at controlling myself in the air. I started using thc to stop the dreams cuz they're too much to handle and I stopped being able to fly or recall dreams I have, but I sleep great now!♥ 0source record 9753

Same! I’ll dream about something and tell my husband the exact details of the place from wallpaper designs to curtains, what I’m wearing, it’s like a movie. Something mundane events, other times traumatic. I’ll jump up scared. I’ll tell my husband the dream and it will come to pass. Exactly like my dream. I can’t change it. The mundane things I may not realize as it is happening in real life but afterwards, I’ll ask my husband. And he will confirm. Traumatic events I will know as soon as the scenery is in front of me. I’ll freeze. It freaks my husband out. I quit telling him my dreams after his grandmother passed. Been married 26 years to a 6’4” man and nothing scares him like me saying “Let me tell you about my dream” I thought I was crazy. I’ve told my Best friend and husband. That’s it.♥ 1source record 3179
I 100% believe I saw both my son and daughter in my dreams way before I even had them and that they visited me a few times in my dreams. I have very vivid dreams where I can remember almost every detail almost everytime I dream. This is going to make me sound even crazier but- I’ve always known little things about my life before they happened. Like I just knew I was going to marry young, I somehow knew I was going to have a miscarriage, I somehow knew that my husband was going to be in a pretty bad car accident. Strange things like that. I don’t know if some of it was intuition or what but it’s kind of freaky when I think about it.♥ 1source record 4229

What the pattern means: Dreams that continue rather than restart — returning to the same setting across nights and resuming where the last one stopped. Commenters describe these worlds as persistent places rather than repeated stories.

What commenters described: re-visit worlds you had dreamt about in the past and just continue from where your last dream ended.

Limit: Few records; reported as personal experience with no external corroboration.

So I don’t think this happens to everyone it’s like the opposite for me but I’ve never met anyone else IRL who HASNT died in their dreams. Like everyone I know has dreamt of dying in their dreams at least once but I have NEVER in 37 years. I rarely dream (maybe 3-4x a year, not joking) but when I do dream and it happens to be one where I’m about to die, I *always* hear cicadas and that’s my brain alerting me to wake up before I die in my dream lol. It’s so weird. Cicadas have played an usual part in my life. I use to collect the shell of them when I was little bc they were so pretty (blues, greens, the wings). I’ve only passed out 2x in my life - once when I was in like 1st grade and the cicada sound “woke” me back up and another time when I was about 21, the cicada sound again brought me out of the unconsciousness state.

Tastes and textures that misbehave

139 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Tastes and textures that misbehave

What the pattern means: Taste registering differences most people do not — the same drink from can, glass, plastic cup and bottle tasting distinct, which is the corpus's second most-liked observation. The most clinically notable entry is tasting saline or medication as it enters an IV line.

What commenters described: Soda from a can and soda from a glass and soda from a plastic cup and soda from a plastic bottle all taste different. So does water.

different ranches taste different. buttermilk is for pizza and nuggets and such while dressing is for salad, unless you're at somewhere like Applebee's or chili's, then dressing works for chicken strips. McDonald's nuggets only go with McDonald's ranch, not bottled, not jack in the box, only McDonald's. and that goes for all other places too. also, different brands of ramen taste different. chicken ramen is the only good one and only if it's maruchan and in a pack. cup of noodles is a no, top ramen is a 1000% no, and the only other good version of ramen is fresh actual ramen. thank you for coming to my ted talk♥ 0source record 6966

Smelling sickness before the doctor does

45 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Smelling sickness before the doctor does

What the pattern means: Smell as an early warning, with commenters describing parents who could identify a specific infection by smell before any test. Clinical environments recur as places where smell produces a physical reaction.

What commenters described: This happens whenever I’m sick and blow my nose. Always freaks me out.

Limit: Smelling illness is anecdotal here; it is not offered or usable as a diagnostic method.

What the replies added2

Smells that time-travel

17 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Smells that time-travel

What the pattern means: Smells arriving without a source and carrying a time with them — the first day of school, or the air of a decade seen only in photographs. Commenters consistently report being unable to articulate it, which is why the group exists.

What commenters described: Sometimes it smells and feels like the first day of school I can’t explain it

Limit: Phantom smells can have medical causes; these accounts describe associative rather than persistent phantom odours.

What the replies added2

Good lord that is the most distinct smell. And I can tell you as a veteran teacher…EVERY school smells the same.

That's called Clairolfaction, also known as clairalience, is a psychic ability that involves the perception of smells that don't have a physical source. It's interesting to look into ✨✨✨

Never waking up rested

108 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Never waking up rested

What the pattern means: Never waking rested, and it is among the corpus's most-liked realisations — the discovery that other people do. The group pairs it with a second surprise running the other way: commenters without constant internal chatter finding the idea of it exhausting.

What commenters described: I never wake up rested. Ever. Apparently other people do?

Limit: Persistent unrefreshing sleep has many clinical causes, including the sleep apnea discussed elsewhere in this article, and warrants assessment.

What the replies added1

Lots of different things to try. Sleep in cool temp, no higher than 68F if possible. No caffeine at least 6hr before bedtime (best if not after 3pm, stays in body up to 12hrs). Complete darkness in room. Quiet, if not relaxing music in LOW volume for a set timer. Consistent sleep schedule. Check any medications you’re currently taking, some of them may be disrupting your REM cycles. Lastly, microdosing melatonin approx 2-3 hours before bedtime. DONT take an entire 5mg gummy, that’s too much and messes up your circadian rhythm, you can cut that gummy in four or six and take a piece 3 hours-ish before you go to bed (but be sure to have consistent bedtime so it works over time) so you boost natural melatonin production. I hope you get some more rem soon!!♥ 0source record 336

I have to take a deep, sharp breath and let the pain hit me all at once and it goes away after I do. 2)When I look at anything with a pattern or design, I can see faces or images. 3)Elevator air/smell taste like blood to me. 4)I have super vivid dreams that feel like real life and sometimes I know I’m dreaming in my dreams, I wake up exhausted every morning not refreshed from sleep. 5)Sometimes I get a weird feeling like I don’t actually exist and everything feels off like I’m a character in a book. I feel like I’m living in third person, I can’t really explain it..♥ 1source record 5876

As a young kid I developed a soothing mechanism to fall asleep, presumably when I stopped using pacifiers - I would flip a corner of my tongue over and it basically took the place of a pacifier.

Waking up strange — songs, panics and wrong colors

102 source recordsDisputed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Waking up strange — songs, panics and wrong colors

What the pattern means: Waking in an altered state rather than simply tired — hands that do not work for a few minutes, a song that has apparently been playing all night, or profound sadness after waking from a daytime nap into darkness. Commenters describe these as consistent rather than occasional.

What commenters described: If I take a nap and it's daylight, and wake up and it's nighttime, I always feel an overwhelming sense of melancholy and sadness. And I'm a night person, so night doesn't normally bother me.

What replies pushed back on5

Yes!!! Sometimes if I wake up from a nap & it’s not yet night time but the suns setting that makes me feel even worse. It feels like I’m in a different dimension & I’ve missed out. Sometimes it’ll cause me to mentally think ppl are mad at me too? Idk. Melancholy is the best description yes

Since I was about 7 years old, on some nights I would wake up and hear a large group of people talking. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could tell they were speaking to each other.

It still happens to me to this day on quiet nights. Im 60 now. I thought this was normal for everyone until just last year.

What the pattern means: Speech and movement during sleep, alongside the deliberate pre-sleep habit of constructing stories to fall asleep to. Several report distress on waking from daytime naps, particularly as children.

What commenters described: ive done this since u can remember....making movies in my head entertaining myself til I fell asleep

What the replies added2

I’ve never been able to make it out of my body. I’ve been “awake” mentally, but unable to move. It feels so scary in the moment that I can’t think of doing anything other than trying to wake up/move. (And panic that I’m dying, obvi)

From the replies

And if you're wondering how parents don't notice that a young child is suffering from debilitating hallucinations My parents were extremely neglectful and also I was autistic child and any weird behaviors they assumed stemmed from that, by the time I knew how to articulate what was going on I had already adjusted so much to it that there was no need

Unless it will not let you sleep♥ 0source record 1609
That’s because this whole system got it all wrong. When God made the heavens and the earth and the living things he said it was good right then and there. He didn’t make a city and cars and a government with taxes and bills and then say it was good, he said it was good when we had nothing but nature and that he would provide all that we need so there is no need to worry about where to sleep and what to eat. In this world we look to money instead whenever we need something.♥ 0source record 1651

My brain never stops thinking. Even when I’m exhausted. Never not planning, compartmentalizing, or thinking of things I want to try, do, or places to visit. This is mainly why I force myself to sleep on things before taking action. Because 99.9% of the time my first thought in the morning is that it’s not the best idea. That’s even with my bipolar meds I still do this 🤦🏼‍♀️♥ 0source record 7458

The constant thought that’s on the back burner in my mind at all times which is that essentially all of society that’s within the economic/legal system strips us away from what life is supposed to be by disguising “pleasure and comfort” as “technological advancement and progress”. In this framework the true God whom you would depend on for all things is replaced with money, though there’s a fake version of God taught by subsets of this system which are called “religions” which were made by those who are existentially unsatisfied but unwilling to change or depart from this system so instead they dedicate a certain amount of time regularly to a fantasy/delusion to prevent actually fully crashing out. Everything I’ve found in the Bible points to man’s word (civilization)=bad, while Gods word (nature)=good. Jesus was a homeless man who fought against religious government using their own scripture that its leaders didn’t know or live by anyways(sort of like how modern Christianity of all denominations today with the Bible) and they called him crazy and killed him for not assimilating. Yet you can’t just crash out and say “I’m gonna go live in the woods” because the woods probably belongs to someone or some town/state so they can impose their made up laws on you and execute a punishment for not playing along. God is living conscience and morality, we’ve replaced him with a hollow idol and allowed immoral and manipulative false shepherds to lull us into an oblivion of servitude to the wealthy which they call “freedom”. Participate or else you starve, follow the rules or be imprisoned, you can’t leave unless you get papers to do so, in what way is this freedom? Did slavery end or did it evolve beyond racism into classism? When a minority population of slaves could no longer meet the labor demand did they reinvent slavery by creating a working class that’s for anyone who isn’t wealthy.♥ 0source record 7723

Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Living with the monologue — debates, tabs and 24/7 narration

What the pattern means: The internal monologue assumed universal, and the group's tone is genuine bewilderment — commenters cannot conceive of reading, writing or reasoning without a voice. It is the counterpart to the aphantasia and no-inner-voice groups elsewhere in the article.

What commenters described: I thought everyone had an internal monologue constantly💔💔💔

What the replies added2

Omg yes! I was shocked to find out people have an inner voice. Also, a lot of those people hear words when they’re reading and not see pictures, if that makes sense. Always wondered why some people found reading boring lol♥ 42source record 95
So. If you don’t have an inner voice what goes on up there??♥ 423source record 123
maybe i’m misunderstanding it, but i don’t have an inner voice but that doesn’t mean im not constantly thinking about things. nothing ‘talks’ to me, but events and ideas pop into my head. music and stress mostly. lol 😭♥ 280source record 124
Usually, whatever the voice is talking about is unrelated to what the body is doing. My hands and mouth are eating a sandwich; my inner monologue is reliving a 3-year-old argument.♥ 32source record 130
inner voice, as in hear yourself think. like you can hear your voice as you think.♥ 0source record 132
Okay finally! Thank you, is this what people mean by inner dialogue? Because I have ADHD, my brain never shuts off and as I type this I am saying and “hearing” the words in my head. But I don’t have to say them to type. Like are people out here with a built-in GPS or life coach walking them through the day? Like “I’m walking into the market, okay now I’m getting bananas, next I’ll get cucumbers.” Maybe I don’t really have ADD, maybe I’m just missing my inner voice coaching me to grab my keys, notes, and breakfast before I walk outside 🤷🏼‍♀️♥ 1source record 134
Honestly it’s even more exhausting in the quiet sometimes. It makes me brain ring if I don’t let the inner voice do her thing. Majority of the time it’s me just having a convo like I would with a bestie lol♥ 1source record 140
My fiancé doesn’t have an internal monologue. I’ll see him sitting on the couch peacefully and I’ll say are you even thinking? He says of course but not like me. He also falls asleep in 1 min. Must be nice.♥ 170source record 143
Same here! I see images and have constant inner monologue and my boyfriend doesn’t even think. Just does. And falls asleep fast.♥ 1source record 145
I focus on whatever I’m doing in the moment. So if I’m watching a basketball game, I’m thinking about all sorts of things related to the game (that coach always looks mad, wonder how tall that player is, that was an awesome play, the refs got that one right/wrong etc.) When it’s over, then I’m thinking about what to do next. I interpret the original inner monologue comment as someone not being able to just relax and focus? I don’t have an inner monologue. Like if I’m not tired but it’s bedtime, I’ll find something to read or watch until I’m tired enough to fall asleep, my thoughts are directly revolved around that activity until I fall asleep. Idk if this explains it.♥ 1source record 146
i’m still thinking. i’m still having thoughts. but i’m not “hearing” them like people with inner monologues describe.♥ 1source record 147
I work out so many issues because I can talk it out with my inner monologue. I’d probably drive people crazy if I didn’t have it 🤣♥ 0source record 173
Wait, is this actually a thing? Not everyone has an inner monologue?♥ 1source record 177
i genuinely don’t believe that not everyone has an inner monologue i cannot comprehend not having one how does that even work♥ 1source record 182
what?? news to me. i thought everyone had inner monologue that won’t stopppp♥ 0source record 190
yeah this gets me all the time I’m constantly talking to my inner monologue lmao♥ 0source record 192
My inner monologue is CONSTANTLY GOING zero brakes 24/7♥ 0source record 193

I have inner monologue and I think out loud all the time 😂everyone in my life is used to it now but when I start a new job it’s a bit of a jump scare 😂♥ 0source record 207
I have a theory that the people with an inner monologue are players in the simulation. The ones without are just npcs.♥ 0source record 208
It’s not that we don’t have an inner monologue it’s just not constant. And yes. I think it’s peaceful. So quiet in there sometimes. Just pictures mostly.♥ 0source record 217
I’m one of those. I also don’t see images when I close my eyes. I can’t visualize a beach, but I can conceptualize it, if that makes sense. I have a very loud inner monologue though. Brains are weird.♥ 1source record 253
My mom can’t see or hear internal things and it sent me into an existential crisis, like how did she learn her colors as a kid???? Me and my dad can see pictures in our heads and hear internal dialogue♥ 1source record 945
Not only do I have an internal monologue, I usually have multiple trains of thought that run simultaneously 😭♥ 38source record 1952
I thought everyone had an internal monologue constantly💔💔💔♥ 12,631source record 2248
i had an internal monologue about this like its really just silence up there???? no way 😭😭♥ 458source record 2249
My internal monologue reads out everything in my voice, and will even say a couple of answers or questions before I verbally say anything . I'm now realizing that my brain talks to itself. Idk really how to refer to it. I know its me but it feels like its own entity. Its my own conscious questioning its self and the things around it.♥ 229source record 2252
💯 I never believed my husband when he told me that he wasn’t “thinking” anything. I thought everyone had an inner monologue all of the time.♥ 1source record 2257
My internal monologue doesn’t sound like my voice though♥ 0source record 2258
that’s crazy i literally get so distracted by my own internal monologue it NEVER stops♥ 1source record 2264
Having an inner voice. I literally do not understand ppl that say they don’t have it. Like how do you write your thoughts or read in silence. Or how do you think yourself? I feel those ppl don’t understand so they just say they don’t have it.♥ 1,991source record 2537
I don’t have an inner voice and I’m anxious AF hahaha♥ 0source record 2539
Not always, but sometimes I just wake up and my internal monologue has an accent (that's not mine im). On St Patrick's Day this year I woke up and it was SCOTTISH all day?! I tried to tell it SPD is Irish not Scottish, but since when does my brain care what I think? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣♥ 4source record 3437
This still happens to me maybe 5 times a year but when it does I experience my internal monologue in all caps like angry yelling♥ 3source record 3831
I have an inner monologue, but I can picture it whether I’m saying it out loud or not. I.e., if I’m speaking I see the spelling in my mind and an image as well. I can also picture other people’s povs too, so I see and think everything at the same time. Idk what it’s called or what it is♥ 1source record 4176
Having an inner monologue. I never realized that not everyone has the ability to hear themselves think inside their heads.♥ 1source record 4182
That other people don’t hear their voice in their head when they think thoughts like I heard everything I just typed in my head as a typed it but didn’t say anything at all. Finding out other people don’t have that inner voice tripped me out♥ 1source record 4198
I can sometimes smell pheromones. I smell geosmin (the smell in the air before it rains). Certain songs gives me goosebumps or a quick high. Maladaptive daydreaming especially with music (not always it hits only with certain songs. I keep a playlist of the songs that invoke this). I have vivid or lucid dreams. I have an inner monologue, music, and visualization. It’s like a movie happening in my head. Sequence synesthesia. I can see faces but can’t remember them right away unless I’m around that person all the time. I can’t regurgitate facts verbally with great accuracy but I can visualize the process correctly. That last one made university test taking difficult. Like give me a verbal test about an event during WWII and I won’t be able to verbalize even though I remember the major event. The micro details go missing. Hard to explain.♥ 1source record 4206
I thought everyone had an internal monologue, still flabbergasted about this one♥ 1source record 4210
I thought everyone had an inner voice and can picture scenarios in their heads like a movie, not everyone can do that😭😭♥ 1source record 4235

The way I’ve never had peace from my inner monologue, I’ll be having whole conversations with my own head before bed about the day and what has to be done the next day too sometimes 😭♥ 2source record 4527
My brain is never completely quiet. Mostly it’s a running inner monologue, sometimes it’s music or like a white noise but there is ALWAYS noise in my head.♥ 2source record 4537
Sometimes I have one or two inner monologues♥ 2source record 4583
Never knew everyone didn’t have inner dialogue…like thinking isn’t the same for everyone. I can hear my own voice in my head when I think things out, I can also see an apple and the word if I think Apple. Some people can’t! Wild !♥ 2source record 4639
Internal monologue. I’m beyond baffled - how do people function if they aren’t talking things out in their heads♥ 2source record 4672
🥺others don't have internal monologues? I'm baffled. (no sarcasm) but I have discussed this in the past with other people and have found that about half do and others do it sometimes and then others not at all.♥ 2source record 4692
I refuse to classify these things as weird but the fact that not everyone has an inner monologue AND there are ppl who see NOTHING when they read. like it's just ... black in their mind. THAT'S weird.♥ 2source record 4712
that not everyone has visual snow, an inner monologue or maladaptive daydreaming, and when people say picture something they can actually picture it in their minds.♥ 2source record 4749

I believed I was in charge of the whole planet as a kid. that I was in a movie and I was the main character and I was the chosen one I can't explain it. I guess an inner monologue type or thing. the world was so heavy.♥ 1source record 4911

A disembodied negative inner monologue that is seperate from and sometimes overrides your normal inner monologue (bpd+cptsd)♥ 0source record 7288
1) my brain is almost never working. when I say this, I mean I don't have internal dialogue, Im not able to visualize/ imagine things with eyes open or closed, and I really really struggle to think. like at all. if I sit and focus insanely hard I can sometimes get basic surface level thoughts (pretty much only if I'm thinking about something to say ). 2) If someone's talking to me, I usually won't process it the first time but somehow register what they're saying as they start telling me again. usually before they get two words out.♥ 0source record 7375
I see some others have also said inner monologue. Mine is continuous, and I didn’t realize others didn’t experience this too because it’s so normal to me.♥ 0source record 7388

Maybe this is bc I’m a film student but when I recall my memories they are in the third person. And I also see different angles like it plays out like it’s a scene from something. Even though realistically and logically, I can only recall what I see through my own two eyes, I don’t see through my own eyes when I recall memory. I see the entire scene as if I’m an observer from an outside perspective or looking from a camera shooting a wide shot. I thought that was normal. It’s kinda fun. Also internal monologues too I didn’t realize not everyone has that.♥ 0source record 8962

Narrating, rehearsing and talking to yourself

39 source recordsDiscussed
Evidence Status: Community-reported pattern; not independently verified

Appears when: Narrating, rehearsing and talking to yourself

What the pattern means: Conversation with yourself rather than narration — full exchanges, sometimes several running at once, occasionally answered aloud. Commenters describe it as deliberative rather than intrusive, which distinguishes it from the rumination group.

What commenters described: Having full on conversations with myself in my head, to the point that sometimes I respond outloud. I didn’t know that some people don’t discuss things with themselves 24/7!!!

What the replies added2

Yes, I didn’t know and just thought that everyone has an inner dialog. Not true.

Pushback♥ 2

I cannot just fall asleep it’s so annoying I have to relive my day or plan out tomorrow, When I do finally fall asleep for some reason I push my pillow up into the headboard, I also talk to myself in my head all day. I have hyperhydrosis only my hands and feet sweat I didn’t realize it was a thing until i was an adult. I think I’m broken

how don’t you tho i feel like my brain can’t really grasp it and honestly it’s not that bad but it’s crazy to me that you don’t constantly think or like talk to yourself like wdym?♥ 2source record 87
It's so insane to me you can't hear thoughts. You must be well rested lol because my thoughts run all day/night. I'm so curious though, how do you solve problems or figure things out without talking out loud?

I feel like reading and writing are the 2 exceptions with my (otherwise) lack of an inner monologue. a lot of people have spoken word thoughts at all times throughout their day. narrating what they're doing. I don't. but when I write and read I do hear the words in my mind♥ 0source record 2549
Overlapping thoughts/conversations with myself in my head at once. So I’m having 3 conversations with myself about diff things…Idk if that sounds insane or anyone can relate 🤣😭♥ 182source record 2707
It's been posted already, but the 24/7 monolouge. If I hear a song once, it will play in my head hundreds of times over the course of the next month. I also rehearse conversations over and over to reduce anxiety. I also have insert foot disease and will randomly say what I'm thinking even its wildly inappropriate. Finding out not everyone had this was wild. Luckily, I've healed most of this with meditation..♥ 110source record 3921

Inner monologue. It’s like a mental narrator, and it’s my voice.♥ 1source record 4947
My thoughts have thoughts. My mind is never quiet. Intrusive thoughts, playing out scenarios while thinking about that thought at the same time having a conversation with myself talking to someone else at the same time. I do this while having an actual conversation with someone. I do all of that while playing the movie of the story they are telling me. I get so sick and tired of what’s going on in my mind that I’m physically exhausted♥ 1source record 4948

I’m learning from the comment section that it isn’t just me whose brain never shuts off. And that I’m not the only one who has full blown conversations with themselves in public. I talk to myself while shopping and I never thought how crazy I looked until my daughter asked who I was talking to.♥ 0source record 6636
I can’t talk outloud to myself. Never have. Talk to myself in my mind, but the only time I talk outloud to myself is if I’m saying a cuss word in a time of panic, or irritation 😂♥ 0source record 6771

Ok so a lot of these comments are also me, I smell the change of weather/seasons. I talk to myself and play out conversations that are past/future or should have had conversations. I plan out everything in my life in my head and take my own opinions and juggle them around as if there are multiple versions of me in my head. I know I do this so I can’t be crazy right?

I cannot just fall asleep it’s so annoying I have to relive my day or plan out tomorrow, When I do finally fall asleep for some reason I push my pillow up into the headboard, I also talk to myself in my head all day. I have hyperhydrosis only my hands and feet sweat I didn’t realize it was a thing until i was an adult. I think I’m broken♥ 0source record 8685

I talk to myself… a lot. When I’m alone, it’s whispering verbally. Without anyone knowing. At night. In bed. Sitting in silence. On the bus… all in my head to myself. Anyone else?♥ 0source record 9265

i am constantly talking to myself , or someone is , i assume it’s myself . Oh god that’s a terrifying thought that i assume it’s me but what if it’s not? i never hear silence, also when people talk to me i type out what they are saying on my lap, and all numbers have personalities and relationships and a color associated with them as well♥ 0source record 9805
