82 Things People Thought Everyone Experienced—But Don’t

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

What the pattern means: Some people recalled anticipating a caller before checking the phone; the thread preserves the report but does not establish accuracy above chance.

What commenters described: 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 ✨✨✨

Calendars and timelines floating in space

44 source records

What the pattern means: Some people organized time as stable shapes or locations in mental space, making calendars feel spatial rather than purely sequential.

What commenters described: Synesthesia! I didn’t find out other people didn’t have it until I was 17

81

Seeing, tasting and feeling sound

31 source records

What the pattern means: Sounds could evoke visual, tactile, or taste-like qualities for some commenters, while others experienced hearing as a single sense.

What commenters described: fonts in books "taste" different to me. not in a synesthesia way, like they dont invoke actual flavors or anything, but idk how else to describe it. different fonts "taste"/read completely different.…

Limit: When I’m trying to fall asleep or about to, and a loud sound happens a bright white light flashes even though my eyes are closed. I hate it. I’ve heard maybe it’s synesthesia?

82

Letters, numbers and days with colors and personalities

28 source records

What the pattern means: Letters, numbers, weekdays, or months carried consistent colors, personalities, or relationships for some commenters.

What commenters described: I didn’t know this was a thing until I read another similar comment on this post. I see the months in a circle like a clock and the days of the week in rectangles connected like snakes. I have no idea if it’s the same thing but it’s weird. 😂

The experiences people assume everyone shares

Sudden weakness while laughing can have a medical explanation

1 source record

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.

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

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

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

I feel this 110%!!♥ 1source record 1909
I can kinda relate to this.♥ 1source record 1964

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 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

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)

I thought it was normal to have a baseline level of pain 24/7♥ 253source record 1432
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. I feel what others are feeling when I walk into a room so I avoid crowds as often as possible♥ 2source record 1887
Whenever i see people hurt themselves i feel a surge of their pain through my body. Someone falling, hitting a wall, bumping into something etc♥ 2source record 1888
Same, I have had days where it made my whole body feel the pain of someone’s sadness♥ 1source record 1897
I can feel the way people/animals felt when they were hurting emotionally. I can feel the agonizing pain of a hungry animal, or the longing of a child who wants their mother or heartbreak of someone grieving. I can feel it so deeply that it feels like I’ve taken it on for them♥ 3source record 1912
😂🥰 I also have the habit of looking at EVERY single car that passes me LP I try to rember the numbers on the one in front of me have zero idea why I do it 😂♥ 0source record 2094

I always count the number of seconds it takes to fill my water bottle♥ 1source record 2108
yes especially when they poke me on my sides. it hurts so bad! I can't even handle when my cat sits on my legs wrong I have to push him off because it hurts but it doesn't make sense to hurt that bad♥ 0source record 2501
Yes! And it drives me crazy when someone will poke me or something and I say “ow” and they’re like “that didn’t hurt.” Like how do you know what that felt like for me?!♥ 2source record 2516
the worst is when you want to feel colder but the "wind" from a fan hurts, so you wear long sleeves so you can use your fan lol♥ 1source record 2522

I’ve always seen numbers and things in a series as gendered. 1 (male), 2/3/4 (female), 5/6/7(male), 8(f), 9/10/11/12(m), etc. Days of the week and months as well.♥ 1source record 3671

I’m pretty sure this would just be your salivary glands flooding. I get this, too, for savory things, but I get the same feeling if I eat something really sour- I don’t like sour things.

What the pattern means: Everyday bodily habits and automatic-seeming actions may require conscious effort or occur differently, making private physical routines easy to mistake for universal ones.

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: “Be careful” that’s literally what my body is saying too and i ain’t doing anything 😭

Emotional Intelligence - I truly thought it was normal for everyone to sense changes in emotions by reviewing tone, body language, using specific words, etc. I’m very in-tune with everyone’s emotions around me, and feel what they feel.

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.

Can’t believe people are stupid enough to think that bc hamas did a few things, it’s ok to toeetire, slaughter, starve to dead thousands upon thousands of innocent children simply because they are Palestinian.

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

Took me a bit too long to realize my feet shouldn’t be separated when I push my knees together, turns out I had a leg deformity as a child that could’ve been corrected when I was younger but now can’t since it’s been too long.

Having a bump on the roof of my mouth. Instead of the roof of my mouth being like an umbrella shape, it’s like an upright bowl. I always wondered why I couldn’t click my tongue loudly but it’s just because I physically cannot do it with my mouth shape.♥ 0source record 6844

I’ve had my thyroid checked numerous times and nothing♥ 191source record 307
could be b12 deficiency or in very rare cases anemia. make sure you dont have any lights on when you sleep or distracting things around you that can cause you to not go into deep sleep♥ 3source record 309
I’m anemic. I wonder if they are related. I’m at the stage where I get random craps in my limbs. 😩♥ 0source record 310
Try cutting out alcohol, sugary drinks, and process foods. Order the whole30 diet book on Amazon or from a bookstore to try 30 days of pure, clean, whole foods and you will likely see a huge difference in sleep (and long term in thyroid/hormone related issues too )♥ 47source record 330

i love that lol mine said it was ocd but genius sounds a lot better♥ 24source record 2240
For the folks in this thread- from an OCD therapist- you might have OCD. Try counting wrong or up to the “wrong”number or deliberately not counting (like sing alphabet or recite it backwards instead). If that’s distressing…you probably have OCD♥ 0source record 2245

I have that! 🙄 Got told there was no such thing as fibromyalgia and to never mention it again or it’ll go in my chart that I’m crazy or a drug seeker 🙄♥ 1source record 2510
Yes! Fibromyalgia is a nerve disorder. Lots of times the nerves are signaling pain. But sometimes they signaling itch also. And the itch feeling just moves along those nerves & can never be reached. It can drive a person crazy.♥ 3source record 2521
Do you get Fibromyalgia itch? Like your hand or arm is itchy, but when you scratch it, it doesn't help. The itch just moves a little. Fibromyalgia pain is so bad, but I hate Fibro itch even more.♥ 30source record 2536

When i was young, I would pull my blankets to my nose at night, scrunch my nose and close my eyes and concentrate….and I would spin horizontally. It felt so so good.

Then, I knew I was safe and I could fly anywhere I wanted. I never remembered where I flew to but am always in new places, physically, that are familiar. I’m never lost. I thought everyone did this. 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. Other kids were laughing, even the professor chuckled, yeah, I’ve never met anyone who can do this or has done this. Turns out Astral Flying is a trauma response from cPTSD.♥ 0source record 7866

I got these weird people and pain / 5 senses and feeling synethsia thing. with people, everyone triggers something of my 5 senses. the guy who works next door to me tastes like actual active cig smoke. just by looking + talking to him. my roommate looks like computer glitching and tastes like carbonated water. some people feel or taste like slime and i avoid those. those arent good people. 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".

I just learned that over researching and having an abundance of useless knowledge is a form of neurodivergence.

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♥ 0source record 6825

A lot of my adhd symptoms. I didn't realize that stuff wasn't normal until I was like 23. Executive Dysfunctio. Not being able to shut my brain/thoughts off. How hard I struggled to focus in school.

POTS, fainting and the standing-up blackout

107 source records

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

What the pattern means: Lightheadedness, a racing heart, or vision changes after standing formed a recurring cluster that some commenters associated with POTS or fainting.

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: 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
my husband hates that I pass out every time I vomit. I will straight black out and fall right into it if I'm not secured.♥ 1source record 1773
Wait. It’s not??? I always pop blood vessels and almost pass out…♥ 8source record 1793
Same! I’ve always had a really difficult time standing in lines because I can’t stand straight for very long without feeling fatigued. Turns out I have POTS and the feeling is my blood pressure dropping quickly♥ 0source record 2626
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

Tilt table tests although hopefully most doctors won’t put you through this. I have POTS and so does one of my kids. You don’t really need a diagnosis to get treated.♥ 1source record 3465

Orthostatic hypotension?♥ 0source record 4126
Getting the dizzies when standing. Then having my vision go black. Apparently it’s presyncope as a result of POTS. Who knew? Lol♥ 1source record 4213
That’s what i was thinking 🤣 like Oh alright so I have pots, a brain tumor, seizure disorder and the hunger sizzle bubbles♥ 0source record 4380
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
oh no, I feel that all too well. It's a POTS thing for me. I can literally feel the blood dropping/whooshing from my brain down my body to my legs while all systems go black 😂 What happens with you?♥ 0source record 4432

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!♥ 1source record 5621

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

Migraines, auras and seizure events

75 source records

Appears when: Migraines, auras and seizure events

What the pattern means: Visual, sensory, or awareness changes can accompany different kinds of events; similar descriptions need professional context rather than a label inferred from comments.

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

✓ 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
Hypermobility♥ 0source record 6494
That people can dislocate their joints and pop them back in because I could do that♥ 0source record 6688
dislocating joints... thought everyone could. Nope! Stretchy skin... nope EDS♥ 0source record 6903
I grew up my whole life sleeping 24/7 and in constant pain. Like debilitating amounts of pain to where it would hinder breathing. Eventually, I just thought I was being dramatic. Turns out, it was EDS and everyone else is never in that much pain constantly. 😂♥ 0source record 6968
Knee cap will dislocate every now and then, not as often now that I’m older and less active 🤔 idk if it’s dislocating but it’s painful and I have to physically put it back in place 🫠🥲♥ 0source record 7013
Knees and elbows dislocating and popping back into place at least once a month♥ 0source record 7148
literally anything related to my Ehlers-Danlos lmao♥ 0source record 7407
Never understood why people thought it was ok to grab someone by the hand or arm. I didn’t know everyone else’s don’t dislocate 🫣♥ 0source record 7632
Learned I was hypermobile because I can turn my leg almost 360 degrees. Thought I was just mildly flexible, but it seems that my funny little leg trick is horrifying and abnormal to others♥ 0source record 7830
I can dislocate my shoulders at will. Sometimes I sleep with it out of socket cause it’s more comfy♥ 0source record 8193
being double jointed/having loose joints that regularly dislocated.♥ 0source record 8245
*edit* i can pop and un-pop my ears by moving my jaw and breathing in through my nose. I do it to "lower the volume" of the real world. I also didn't know that my being double jointed was HEDS and not everyone can do the splits without ever having trained/stretched for it. I also thought everyone had diarrhea often, but turns out they dont and I'm just lactose intolerant 😂♥ 0source record 8613
My neck gets stuck when I yawn… I have EDS and it’s my trachea moving where it isn’t supposed to be 💀💀 I get stuck staring up at the ceiling for a bit if it’s a big one♥ 0source record 8647
Elbow hypermobility. I thought everyone’s elbows could twist around completely to appear “backwards,” some people call it being double-jointed. Occasionally I still lean on something with my elbows twisted without consciously realizing I’m doing it and it inspires some confused and sometimes horrified awe from people around me.♥ 0source record 9122
My rib just constantly popping in and out of place when I do certain things.l or wear a bra. Had a doctor tell me that’s not possible 💀 Anyways, now I’m pretty sure I have EDS 😂♥ 0source record 9206
My hyoid bone moves around and dislocates sometimes when I move my neck a certain way. I have genetic testing for Ehlers Danlos in 2 weeks.♥ 0source record 9284
I just found out I'm hypermobile. In my 51 years on this planet I swear I thought everybody was this bendy.♥ 0source record 9430
I have elhers danlos syndrome, growing up, I thought everyone’s joints popped out and everyone’s knees sounded like machine guns when they rode this bike.♥ 0source record 9829

Hearing that runs loud, muffled or sideways

293 source records

Appears when: Hearing that runs loud, muffled or sideways

What the pattern means: Hearing can differ in volume, clarity, direction, and filtering, so the same sound environment may feel entirely different from one person to another.

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…

Limit: Walking on fresh light snow is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. The sound and feeling ugh I hate it. Never met anyone else that gets that.

I get an electrical sensation sometimes near my Adam's apple to the back of my mouth. And the sensation reaches my ears plus I can hear it to. It sounds like a plasma ball toy

Wowwwwwwwww I’m baffled, who are these people who hear nothing? Robots? Lmaooo♥ 0source record 202
Do some research on which tests to ask for! Last I heard, the tests most doctors use are really not very accurate. There are much more "in depth" tests that will tell you so much more. 💕♥ 1source record 318

Yes and it hurts my ears♥ 0source record 707
yes - the pressure in my head makes me deaf♥ 934source record 725
I have this too. I think it’s the tympanic membrane/ear drum vibrating. There are muscles around it. Some people can make this happen on demand without stretching/yawning.♥ 138source record 730
Oh I thought everyone did. Like why keep talking when I'm stretching, or yawning? Obviously I can't hear you.♥ 17source record 745
I do this too! Honestly sometimes I stretch just to block out noise lol♥ 1source record 756
It’s not my jaw, it is directly in my ears fam :,)♥ 1source record 757
My husband and I had this discussion yesterday! When stretch and when I yawn. Yawning makes more sense because I think my ear tubes close up or something- but stretching??? Wild♥ 1source record 764
I never knew this was a thing. I can hear as well then♥ 1source record 767
No, it's in the ears. Not the jaw.♥ 0source record 775
I have it too. But I’ve learned to just tell people to repeat themselves once I’m able to engage fully. And I’ve only been able to use a phone near my right ear. My left ear doesn’t understand what I’m listening to. Nevermind the aphasia.♥ 0source record 856

Nah def not alone, my mind has so much going through it all the time, I’ll stop listening to who’s talking and my thoughts take over.♥ 0source record 868
Yea I don’t know what this is but I think way faster and process way faster so when people speak I usually actually hear and process it a few moments after then can’t find the words to answer because I’m on to the next.♥ 1source record 877
Lol. Yes!! I’ve gotten to the point that I’ll just look at them and say, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t actively listening.” Then they will repeat themselves, and I still don’t listen. SMH.♥ 0source record 887

Tinnitus — silence was never silent

190 source records

Appears when: Tinnitus — silence was never silent

What the pattern means: Constant or intermittent internal ringing can become someone’s assumed version of silence until they learn that other people do not hear it.

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

Limit: 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

Whenever i get even mildly stressed out i lose hearing in my right ear for a few seconds. For example when i get a Teams notification♥ 1source record 5592

If I open up the back of my throat as if to yawn I can hear my breath through my eustachian tubes. It sounds loud & echoed as if someone was breathing through a straw stuck it in your ear.

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

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

I believe there is a spectrum, we all attach to our thoughts, but a lot of ppl today have fully identified with the “voice” in their head, so much so that they don’t think it exists. I know it sounds paradoxical.♥ 0source record 223

What the pattern means: Some commenters noticed electrical hums or high frequencies that others ignored, illustrating variation in sensitivity to background sound.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

That staring into someone's eyes almost the entire conversation is not common? I dont know how. I always thought it was polite to give eye contact but apparently it can be uncomfortable for some.

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

Not everyone sees those tiny red and blue dots in their vision in the dark♥ 151source record 2686
Apparently it’s caused by cells moving in the capillaries in the front of your retina!♥ 3source record 2696

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
When all you can see is gray for a second or it looks like there is a white dot in your vision♥ 0source record 8858

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

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.

OMG I’ve always wondered what that is!!! I see it most when I close my eyes or look at the sky♥ 0source record 637
I mean you don’t even have to close your eyes to picture something. It doesn’t show up visually but mentally. The picture is in your head and you can’t actually see anything with your eyes♥ 5source record 1831

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

You should get a free day off school for this. My sister and I always said if you had to dream about school you get a day off.♥ 0source record 1384
that happens to me when I have to pee. I literally have this dream where I get up and go to the bathroom over and over again until I finally can shake myself awake and actually go. but it's like the dream keep on repeating until I wake up. it is very annoying when I really have to go. luckily I haven't peed my bed because of it since I was in like first grade lol♥ 1source record 1393

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
I’ve had this dream over and over in a parking lot viewpoint me sitting in a car and I knew it was in my hometown in a lumberyard or something. My parents told me last week it was a tractor supply store they would go to when I was a baby 😳♥ 6source record 3388

That I don’t dream in POV. I’m always an external character in my dreams sometimes I’m not even in my dreams♥ 2source record 4133

Falling asleep by thinking of a past dream that triggers another past dream and that goes on and on until I fall asleep♥ 1source record 4211

I can be dreaming wake up, go to the bathroom and go back to the dream.♥ 0source record 4248
When I’m laying down to sleep if I’m starting to dream but not all the way asleep , it’s weird but i can see these images with my eyes opened but they have to be very very squinted . And if I close my eyes all the way the image is gone . And it’s always weird stuff.♥ 0source record 4336
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
I thought everyone had dreams, but apparently some just dream black. I still can't believe it♥ 2source record 4532
Every dream I’ve ever had has always been in third person. Like I’m always looking down on myself. Also the voice in my head does NOT sound like me.♥ 2source record 4540
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
When I was younger, as I'd fall asleep I'd sort of float through a building and down a well where the floor tiles were different dreams. I'd kind of Mary Poppins into one of the tiles and have that dream.♥ 2source record 4584
If things don’t make sense in a dream, I sometimes realize it and correct it.♥ 2source record 4595
i can change my dreams if I don't like them. Change channels while I'm sleeping♥ 2source record 4617
Not everyone dreams in first, second, and third person simultaneously🫠♥ 2source record 4642
My ability to see into what’s going to happen through dreaming has scared me since I was kid and hasn’t ever stopped.♥ 2source record 4687
Apparently not, i found out when someone said they had a good dream so i was like well just go back to it tonight when you go to sleep. They said i wish i could.. thats when i asked everyone i knew and nope ppl cant do that for some odd reason♥ 1source record 4768
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
I regularly confuse my dreams with reality. I never know if an event actually happened or if I just dreamt it bc they’re so, so real to me.♥ 1source record 4907

Crying so hard in my dreams that I wake up crying, thought everybody does this a couple times a month til I talked to my friends 😵‍💫♥ 1source record 4997
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
The things that I dream happen IRL, weeks, months, and years later. It’s super weird.♥ 1source record 5057
sometimes I dream in sound only no picture...♥ 1source record 5059

OMGGG?? ME TOO, I had this one dream when I was really young getting stabbed and I actually felt it and when I woke up I still could feel it a bit I thought I was going crazy until I learned it does happen but it’s very rare, or like when I have dreams of flying or falling a high cliff you have the feeling in your stomach it feels so weird idek how to describe it but I don’t like it at all 😭♥ 0source record 5260
Dreaming. I live a full on life in another realm somewhere in my dream world and apparently not everyone does. I literally have towns, vacations spots, etc that I visit that my mind has created and I recognize them every time I sleep. Apparently my REM sleep is off the charts according to my sleep study. I told the doc, I have a whole other life I’m living, no time for rest 🤣♥ 1source record 5301

Dreaming in color. Maybe a lot of people do but not everyone or as many as you would think♥ 1source record 5444
Getting shot or having my limbs cut off in my dreams. I was like “yk that feeling when you get your hand cut off in your dream?” And everyone was like “no?!?!??” 😭♥ 1source record 5447
I assumed everyone had a dream world that they revisit in nearly every single dream like a video game world, just different scenarios every time. My dream land is exactly the same.♥ 1source record 5448

I didn’t know until the last 2 years that most people see actual pictures in their head. Like if they think of an apple, they “see” an apple. Like that’s what “your mind’s eye” refers to. Oh and not everyone dreams in desaturated color??♥ 0source record 6033
dreaming of musical compositions, upon waking I run to the piano, record down the composition and it becomes a piece. My dream pieces are my best.♥ 0source record 6086

When I was younger I would think about what I wanted to dream about and then that’s what I dreamt about♥ 0source record 6324
I thought it was normal to dream that you woke up and you living day to day... Over and over... Until you actually wake up. There was a point where I made it a habit of going “omg I’m stuck again” and doing everything in my power to ACTUALLY wake up.♥ 0source record 6378
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. Like that feeling you get when you wake up from a dream and have to pee but I’m awake and actually on the toilet. It’ll happen every time for like a month and then go away and come back a few months later. Can’t find any one else talk about it on the internet.♥ 0source record 6387

Picking up dreams where I left them when I last woke up after I go to sleep. Not night after night, but at will. I picked up a dream I had started in high school last week. Also running into just the person I need to ask a question to at complete random♥ 0source record 6483

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. I also read I’m highly likely to develop Alzheimer’s from this and my high levels of stress so that’s cool too.♥ 0source record 6875

According to an article I once read, we aren’t able to tickle ourselves when awake, but our consciousness splits while sleeping and the people in our dreams feel, in fact, like actual separate people.

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

I'm not usually in my dreams. It's like I'm watching TV and there's always a "main character", but it's not me. Lucid dreams are a weird concept for me bc how can I become aware that I'm dreaming if I'm not even in the dream?♥ 1source record 5367

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
lucid dreams♥ 0source record 6298
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

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

I thought everyone was a lucid dreamer but apparently not. I can control them too and wake myself up if I'm having a bad dream that I lose control of.♥ 0source record 8032
I feel pain in my dreams. I have been stabbed, shot and everything in between and felt it all. I’m also usually aware I’m dreaming but I can’t change the outcome.♥ 0source record 8053
lucid dreaming, like all the time. only dreams i cannot control are the scary ones, but if i don’t like it i just wake up and it’ll change when i go back to sleep. i also feel the experiences in my dream, i got stabbed once and it was the most excruciating feeling ever, i woke shortly after because i didn’t like the pain♥ 0source record 8130
Controlling my dreams and being able to walk to the mall etc♥ 0source record 8303
I can wake myself up if I’m dreaming once I know I’m dreaming. I usually close my eyes super tight and scream at myself to move in the real world to wake up and it works every time♥ 0source record 8474
Ive always had very vivid dreams. And as a child, I became self-aware in my dream and learned to lucid dream. I know I’m dreaming and I can control the dream. It doesn’t happen as often now that I’m older. I wish I did. It’s the best dreams ever. 😂♥ 0source record 8478
Lucid dreaming & astral projection— I just thought everyone dreamed like that. Apparently it’s not common.♥ 0source record 8493

I thought lucid dreaming was pretty normal for most people. I generally know I’m dreaming which makes it like a game.♥ 0source record 8629
Idk if what I do is lucid dreaming or what but sometimes when I’m exhausted I will have partial sleep paralysis I think. So I will be in the dream and I can move and think and know I’m dreaming but I cannot wake up or control where the dream goes and it’s always super realistic to where I can’t tell if I’m actually awake or still in a dream♥ 0source record 8919
lucid dreaming. I thought everyone just kinda knew they were dreaming as they were dreaming♥ 0source record 9280
I can control my dreams to a certain extent. I know that I'm dreaming & often I can go right back to the dream after being awoken & falling back asleep. What is that called 🤷‍♀️♥ 0source record 9373

Being half awake and knowing your dreaming and being able to control your dream♥ 0source record 9910

I get a smell (??) in my nose when I have nightmares♥ 0source record 830
I started doing this as a kid to try to prevent scary dreams.♥ 19source record 1294
Omg I would do this all the time when I was a kid when I was scared so I wouldn’t have nightmares lol♥ 2source record 1313

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
Sounds like a sleep paralysis hallucination. Only thing I’ve found to break it is once I realize my body’s still asleep, I try to breath weirdly & loudly till my husband hears & shakes me all the way awake♥ 0source record 1388
Omgggg yes!! I literally tried to explain this to my husband. Usually with nightmares but I remember it so vividly, I can literally tell you about my dream places from 10 years ago. Usually reoccurs or I revisit when I’m stressed.♥ 4source record 1487
This happens to me mostly with nightmares. I don’t want to go back to it but my nightmares are reoccurring.♥ 11source record 1488
It’s definitely a WILD experience and if you practice with it you can literally do anything😊 I’ve changed the entire scene in my dreams and even stopped a nightmare in its tracks. It’s an amazing experience!♥ 0source record 2987
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.♥ 15source record 2997

Idk if a lot of other people do or don’t experience this, but I very frequently have dreams where I know I’m dreaming, but can’t change anything that’s happening. It happens the most in nightmares about being chased by a murderer. I’ll be thinking “wake up” over and over again and trying to change the dream, but it’s impossible♥ 0source record 4292

HARD TO WAKE UP FROM THAT.♥ 0source record 6492

Apparently not everyone dreams in color! & I pick up dreams, and nightmares, where they left off. Nightmares are so vivid it’s hard to tell if I was asleep or if it actually happened.♥ 0source record 6546
I had this scary feeling that my blanket would feel ginormous in my hands and anything I touched felt the same. Idk wtf it was or is to this day. It grew up with me then suddenly never happened again. I think it stemmed from a dream of me running away from someone trying to pop my balloon in a Walmart or Target with a needle. That probably makes no sense 😂♥ 0source record 6577

I dream about things and they come true. Not always and sometimes not exactly the same but they come true! One time I was dreaming that someone was texting me and when they sent the text in my dream, their notification sound woke me up! I had a dream that my ex was going to break up with me and a few days later he did. Things like that. Also sometimes people come to my mind and they text me or call me in that moment or later that day. It’s weird and scary♥ 0source record 7249

(tube TV era) I could tell you if there was a TV on in the home no matter what floor it was on. The sound was UNDENIABLE but no one else I’ve ever met could hear it. I love non-tube TVs.

I used to have vivid dreams and nightmares, like ones where if it was dark it felt like the space around me was getting ominously bigger and I’d wake up in the dark room with the same feeling, and be able to recount dreams and nightmares to almost exact clarity (I still remember some of them…) but now I can’t think of a single dream I’ve had any time recently♥ 0source record 8377
I read a lot. And when I get in bed after reading, I have nightmares about being a character in a book. I’d kill my fictional parents, my love interest would cheat on me, I’d become rich but then die, and so on. I’d then wake up and a 15 minute nightmare would be 5 hours irl. I never had any cuts in the nightmare, and I guess my body skates while I sleep. I also don’t dream. It’s pure nightmares for me every night.♥ 0source record 8634
Falling asleep, but watching yourself sleep. Thought it was normal until middle school. I have sleep paralysis and really scary or sinister dreams. Usually reoccurring.♥ 0source record 8637

Extremely vivid dreams that are so real a singular dream session can seemingly go on for days or weeks. You have to really think about what “memories” are real and which are dreams since typical dreams are nonsensical blurbs not a detailed multi-day story line. It’s wild♥ 2source record 4548

Prosopagnosia, face blindness. I knew I struggled to remember faces compared to other people, but I had no idea is was an actual thing. I also don't see faces in my dreams, just like a somewhat featureless face, even if I'm dreaming of someone I've known my whole life.♥ 2source record 4761

I dream vividly at night. But sometimes I travel instead of dream. I pop into another timeline or parallel universe and help that person try to solve a problem they couldn't solve.

Probably only once every month or two.♥ 0source record 6505
My dreams are so vivid that I often mistake them for memories. I’m constantly realizing memories I have are false & were dreams because I’ll realize it conflicts with my current reality and couldn’t have happened.

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

dreams happening in real life. I've always done it but it was all really innocuous stuff like it never mattered it was conversation so just everyday stuff. when I was pregnant with my third child I had a crazy dream that her face was split and when she was born she had a cleft lip because the dream bothered me so much. I talked to my doctors about it. this is all medically documented. they said it was cellular memory and it was my body telling my brain that something was wrong and my brain telling me in a way that I could understand. do I buy that? I don't know.♥ 0source record 7921

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.

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

I’m one of these and only recently learned that people have running thoughts all the time. Sounds exhausting♥ 6,413source record 76
It can be very exhausting sometimes. It worse when we remember trauma so I'm able to see all that in my head like it's a movie but I'm the main character. Also have tons of thoughts going almost all the time♥ 0source record 83
It’s so exhausting like I can’t rest♥ 0source record 90
It is. Not one moment of peace. I find myself think "so what what the point of that thought huh?" and then my brain switches to a totally random other thought. I say No to my thoughts when I'm tired of thinking them and switch like a TV channel. Thinking about anything and everything except what I need to be doing.♥ 562source record 91
I’m 50 yers old and just learned some people have quiet brains. What?!? I thought everyone was exhausted but their voices!♥ 0source record 98

Could also be a deficiency in b12, d3, iron, magnesium or sleep apnea…. Or that you actually not get enough sleep. Women need 9-10 hours.♥ 124source record 314
I literally can’t sleep longer than 6.5 hours a night. Not sure how ppl are taking 10 full hours! 😂♥ 7source record 315
I was going to say sleep apnea. You don’t feel rested because you body is fighting for sleep or air. Air wins, but interrupts your sleep!!♥ 8source record 317
no same. I can sleep for 12+ hours and still feel tired when I wake up. doesn't matter how much or how little sleep I get, still always tired when I wake up. sleep study came back normal 🤷🏼‍♀️♥ 68source record 326
Pass. I’ll stay tired.♥ 1source record 331
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
right I'm the same way, but I can be tired as hell all day long but once the sun goes down and it's night time... I'm wide awake 😳. .♥ 4source record 342

This. For awhile it got so stressful I wouldnt to to stores and stuff alone because inevitably someone would come and talk to me and end up telling me everything. It’s like this neon sign. And it’s exhausting. Luckily my husband is not an approachable looking human and acts as a deterrent. I actually started keeping logs of things people have told me that they follow up with “I’ve never told anyone that before”— another one is older people coming up and telling me what they’d like done when they pass. Like— I don’t really know you. But I keep a list… just in case?…sometimes I feel like a character in a video game.♥ 1source record 2202

Hahahahaha, no 💀 I had brain surgery to alleviate a lot of them, but it came with a whole new list of them. I have 3-6 appts a week to try and manage pain. I’m in the middle of trying different meds for it rn. The only way I don’t completely fall apart is to get 8-10 hours of sleep, cut all caffeine and sugar, make sure I stay super hydrated, eat 2-4 small meals a day, don’t lift anything over 20 lbs, don’t sit or stand for more than 30 mins at a time, and do my PT exercises every day. It’s honestly a full time job just to take care of my body and it’s exhausting. I joke about it to cope otherwise I’d lose my mind♥ 0source record 2635

when i get really tired, my teeth hurt♥ 2source record 4778
one time I experienced pain in my jaw hinges any time I had to open it more than halfway. like I'd open my mother halfway, stop, adjust my mouth a little bit, and then I could open it the rest of the way. this led me to avoiding certain foods for like a month, and eventually I just got tired of it and went to the chiropractor. he asks me to open my mouth and when I do he looks at me in shock. turns out the "adjustment" was me UNHINGING MY JAW. so I would literally unhinge my jaw like a snake in public to eat and I didn't know cause I had never watched myself do it in a mirror 😭😭😭 anyway he fixed it really quick and I'm fine now♥ 2source record 4802
I thought everyone's brains made that zapping sound/feeling when they were really tired. Nope. Great way to meet some new friends in the neurology field♥ 2source record 4813
If I’m beyond tired and exhausted , and my body falls asleep faster then my brain, my body is literally stuck for like 30 seconds, I can only move my fingers and toes, but I’m legit paralyzed. If I try and go to sleep right after, it will do it again, until I watch videos on my phone!♥ 1source record 5246

whenever i or someone else was in pain, OR if I felt a super strong emotion, i would lose all muscle tone in my hands, feet, and sometimes entire legs- also I could fall asleep with my eyes open sitting up and I never felt rested and was constantly exhausted.

i can’t remember a day since I was 13 years old where I haven’t felt completely exhausted — no matter the amount of sleep, hydration, food, vitamins, etc. — nothing help. no iron deficiencies, no known health issues either & I’ve had a lot of tests done over the years.♥ 1source record 5634
when I get too tired my entire body HURTS until I can lay horizontal. it's like my brain is punishing me until I'm forced to take care of myself and sleep and when it gets to that point it's almost impossible to resist.♥ 1source record 5710
1)I get chest pains a couple times a year. It feels like there’s air stuck in there. 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.

What the pattern means: Waking states sometimes included panic, lingering dream sensations, internal music, or altered color impressions before full orientation returned.

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.

Limit: I thought everyone's hands just didn't work right for a couple min when they wake up, but turns out that only happens to some ppl 😅😅 that was a frightening conversation tho

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. I would think my parents were having a party that they forgot to tell me about, and I would walk through the house looking for them, then they would stop. 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. I'm not sure who I am hearing, if its angels or star people, but its definitely something.

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

[account] been doing this every night since I was 10 years old. I call them my "bedtime stories". I can't fall asleep very well if I dont have one. I have a mini library in my head of 4 or 5 stories at once, and each night I will decide which story I want to continue that night, depending on my mood. Eventually, a story will end, and I will have to begin a new "book". Lol♥ 1source record 1336

When I close my eyes to go to sleep, I get “invisible eyelids”. It’s likes I’m still seeing what’s in front of me instead of the darkness that I need to go to sleep even though my eyes are closed♥ 2source record 4148
When I close my eyes to go to sleep I see dim flashes of light that kinda look like a slideshow playing really fast. I can’t make out any images tho♥ 1source record 4230
About 3-4 nights a week, I struggle to fall asleep because when I close my eyes I see lights, flashes, and sometimes it’s a straight white light I’m staring at a flashlight. I have to cover my eyes to try and get it as dark as possible.♥ 0source record 4337
Not everyone wakes up multiple times at night (diagnosed insomniac in college)♥ 2source record 4460
When I’m falling asleep I watch my closed eyelids. It looks kinda like a lava lamp with color morphing and moving around. I thought everybody could see this when they closed their eyes but I haven’t found anyone else that sees this. They all say they just see black.♥ 2source record 4542
I count literally everything constantly. It never stops. I can not stop. How many strokes of deodorant I put under each arm and it has to match, how many times I brush my hair, how long I blow dry each section of my hair, how many bites of my food I take, how many steps I take, even my breaths while I’m falling asleep. It never stops. Everything has to be counted. If I’m sitting still doing nothing I’m still counting to certain numbers in my head. It never stops.♥ 2source record 4593
Not wanting to go to sleep because being "so far away" terrifies me.♥ 2source record 4605

Creating music in my head out of nowhere once in a while before I fall asleep. It just flows like water.♥ 1source record 5058
My mind will hyper fixate on a song and play it over and over again in my head sometimes even while I’m trying to sleep parts of a song will repeat over and over in my head♥ 1source record 5116
In college I learned that I can transcend consciousness and fall asleep with my eyes open. I’d sit at the front of the class and do this, then immediately come back to consciousness when I was called on for an answer.♥ 1source record 5172
That drop feeeling randomly right when ur falling asleep♥ 1source record 5203
It blows my mind when people cant just go to sleep. I tell myself "go to sleep" and then I just do. if I struggle I visualize the word sleep bumping whatever im thinking about away until I go to sleep, which is never long.♥ 1source record 5220

Seeing a kaleidoscope of colors dancing around like a school of fish or a flock in of birds totally in sync with one another. This happens to me when I’m trying to sleep.

I’ve caught myself falling asleep and woke myself back up just as I was almost asleep scared thinking what if this is the last thing I remember before I 💀♥ 0source record 6632
When I’m listening to a video while falling asleep, I’ll be so deep in my thoughts that when I stop thinking about what I was rambling abt in my head suddenly all sound comes back. Like I was in silence I never felt. Completely zoned out and concentrated on my thoughts. Then it’s like my ears open and suddenly the world is so loud and I don’t know what’s happening in my video. Mind you I have AirPods in and a fish tank so it’s very odd♥ 0source record 6787

do u guys hear voices when youre going to bed while youre still awake and your eyes are open or no♥ 0source record 7767
As a kid, I hated how boring night time was. Staying quiet in bed was torture. I really thought only adults needed to sleep. Turns out I’m a lifelong insomniac 🙃♥ 0source record 7786
I ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS fall asleep with a song in my head and wake up to a song in my head, not the same song. Whether I take a nap, sleep all night, ALWAYS. Different genres too♥ 0source record 7808
I fall asleep near instantly when I lay down for bed or get relatively comfortable. It can be a problem sometimes. Had no idea people need time to actually fall asleep.♥ 0source record 7906
When I lay down to fall asleep I get this sensation like my tongue is larger than my head. Thankfully it's not every night, but I can't shut it off when it starts.♥ 0source record 8080

Does anyone hear actually voices sometimes? Like when you're in a bad mood & intensely thinking or about to fall asleep?♥ 0source record 8593
When I start to fall asleep, my brain feels like it slips down a level. To me, it was literally "falling" asleep. Usually mainly happens during the day when I am in the middle of reading, or looking at a sxreen.♥ 0source record 8608
Hearing my name before I fall asleep. Sometimes in a familiar voice sometimes not but my family thought I was crazy when I brought it up and I was shocked to learn it’s not common 🫣♥ 0source record 8665
i thought everyone’s head spins as they fall asleep…♥ 0source record 8754
my legs falling asleep to the point where if i try to stand i will literally fall over♥ 0source record 8829
Being most comfortable, and even falling asleep with one arm raised in the air. And it isn’t difficult to keep it there. There’s no effort involved- it stays up seemingly on its own♥ 0source record 8878
I use to hear voices when I was little, but I had to be calm & going to sleep. People calling my name, laughing, crying, screaming. It stopped when I was about 6….I thought I was crazy apparently others have experienced this♥ 0source record 8892
When my legs fall asleep and I wake them up, the pain is almost unbearable for like 3-5 minutes after. Like I shed tears sometimes because the pain is so bad. I always thought everybody felt this but recently a lot of people have told me it’s weird?♥ 0source record 8995

Laying in bed and feeling your body getting smaller and larger over and over and it not stopping me until you fall asleep♥ 0source record 9178

i play movies for myself when i go to sleep im not sure if everyone does this but i know some ppl can’t visualize anything in there brain at all😭♥ 0source record 9457
It actually stopped happening since I had my second kid. But I use to dread going to sleep because my head would show me images but only for a second and they would pulse and get bigger and bigger til they went away and started over.♥ 0source record 9709
Right before I fall asleep, tons of random images flash through my mind like a picture flip-book. Sometimes they come true later. 😳♥ 0source record 9872

Strange, I can no longer take naps at all during the day, starting about 10 yrs ago, maybe 9, because I’d jerk awake thinking I’ve missed something important, I get overwhelming sadness too, even when I literally have nothing else to do. I think it’s guilt for feeling lazy???♥ 2source record 1269

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

Thinking about death every day multiple times a day for my full life.♥ 0source record 7712
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

my brain always felt like it was split like one half was almost like my inner child / softer side and the other half is more angry and demanding and tends to take over the most there there’s me which is my own consciousness that also has a say….🧍🏽‍♀️idk ummm am i crazy ?♥ 0source record 8706

Talking to ourselves so that multiple thought tracks can align.

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

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

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

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

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

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 have to talk to myself in my head to resolve things or question things on how I'm going to solve something. Like even as I type to you I'm talking in my head like a crazy person lol 🤣♥ 0source record 103
it isss😭😭 it's a constant conversation with myself and sometimes I need to stfu♥ 0source record 117
Okay, but who narrates your life? 🤭♥ 0source record 135
🤣 I constantly talk to myself♥ 1source record 179
This is linked to the same concept that some people have inner monologues or hear their life being “narrated” or hear their own voice as their thoughts while others don’t have that…. It’s wild♥ 0source record 269
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!!!♥ 8,493source record 1159

I have full blown conversations with myself but have yet to argue with myself 😂♥ 4source record 2004
The silent kind of silent lmao. I can intentionally "hear" something in my head if I try but I don't have any sort of ongoing narration. My thoughts don't come with sound and I don't talk to myself in my head.♥ 2source record 2269
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
I have read a bunch of these threads and a lot of people have said they rehearse conversations before they have them, it’s a social anxiety thing.♥ 1source record 4364
Who rehearses who can one take in what a person is saying? I’m talking about conversations with myself but okay.♥ 0source record 4365
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 talk to myself like as another person sometimes and I’ll catch myself saying “us” and “we” like I’m not talking to MYSELF (ok this is a deep cut I’m praying someone else does this 🫣)♥ 1source record 5313
Broo I think I have an actual problem ! 😭 I act like there’s someone standing next to me and start talking to myself like for instance I could just have the worst day ever and sit down and start smiling and laughing TO MYSELF 😐😭♥ 1source record 5345
I thought everyone could hear and see in their mind. I can easily visualize and hear things that I think of. I talk to myself frequently in my mind. Like full conversations 🤣🤦‍♀️♥ 1source record 5593
Dreaming every night. Remembering every single dream. And talking to myself in my dream to my dream self.♥ 0source record 6224
I see nothing but darkness when I close my eyes. I imagine nothing!! Only black. But my mind never shuts up! Constantly talking to myself.♥ 0source record 6417
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
I speak and argue with myself out loud and in my head every day♥ 0source record 7056
not every one has an Inner monologue that explains everything that's happening around you at all times that also narrates your life🥲♥ 0source record 7093
I talk to myself in both second person and first person interchangeably♥ 0source record 7330
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 can also hear the electric in the walls, I can read someone’s thoughts pretty spot on just by their body language. And I also see the world very pixelated if my glasses are off♥ 0source record 7630
talk to myself. full blown conversations w people I know... but I'm by myself.♥ 0source record 7845
I thought “inner voices” were just a figure of speech I didn’t realize most people have an actual voice narrating things for them♥ 0source record 8555
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 talk to myself in my head. constantly. it never stops♥ 0source record 9200
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
Talking to yourself it’s bad but thinking outloud is cool?♥ 0source record 9724
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

A song stuck on permanent loop

Appears when: A song stuck on permanent loop

What the pattern means: Internal music ranged from brief earworms to persistent loops that resumed automatically and competed with other thoughts.

What commenters described: i have ADHD and always have a song stuck in my head. it will be playing in the background of my thoughts, but unless i’m actively watching a video or listening to music or something similar, something is playing in my head.

Later-arriving source

I must have internal and external echolalia because I break out in song whenever people are talking to me and say a word from a song. but sometimes my internal song feels like it will drive me mad because it's stuck on repeat. I've found if I eat less animal protein I don't get this kind of intrusive "stuck" so I'm vegetarian. when I tell people this they look at me sideways. anyone else?

If I get a song stuck in my head, it makes me incredibly nauseous. I can’t get to sleep and it makes me irritable and I end up crying in overstimulated anger. Nothing gets the song out except over exhaustion.

I cannot even wrap my head around this… no thoughts? How does it sound in there? Background music? 🤣 I can’t imagine.♥ 0source record 102
Do you hear your own voice reviewing said ideas, or processing the stress? Or just sensations that lead to planing? Like how do you make a mental note—visualize without verbal structure/process? I am ND & brain never shhh; truly curious and fascinated by the vastly different experience of living & kerciening is to each independent being. Thanks for sharing!♥ 95source record 126
I think it's odd that people equate imagining a voice with thought. I always want to ask if they don't know they're eating a sandwich until they think, "I'm eating a sandwich," 😅 but don't want them thinking I'm trying to be rude.♥ 57source record 127
stress about everything? i’m not sure i understand why you think i NEED to hear a voice talking in order to think. i picture it in my head. no voice.♥ 1source record 181
no mine is that i can’t visualize😛♥ 0source record 195
Then how DO you imagine♥ 45source record 238
What?! I see a blockbuster film every time. I love picking my imaginary cast too 😂♥ 0source record 274
We see the back of our eyelids. That’s it. We can still imagine those things but we conceptualize it and “know” what a beach looks like but can’t actually see it when we close our eyes.♥ 0source record 279
Once in a blue moon I feel rested. I can’t imagine what I could do if I felt rested all the time♥ 1source record 348
Omg yes!!! I imagined it was a heard of buffalo hooves. So random♥ 1source record 702
I have the opposite of that! Ive *always* thought that cartoons and such were over dramatic or were the way they are for fun and not some peoples reality. turns out- people *can* actually visualize stuff! Who would have guessed that lol not me, thats for sure. Ive talked to people that im close to about this before and theyve been shocked to find out I cant actually picture an image, I just- know what something looks like? like if you told me to picture an apple, I wont see it, but I know what it looks like andni can describe it lol♥ 1source record 932
I learned that some people can’t imagine things in their heads period…mind BLOWN 🤯♥ 1source record 940
see.. I can’t wrap my head around that people CAN see. it’s like counting sheep and people saying “I can’t imagine that” and it’s not just a thing you say? like sometimes some people see things? WILD♥ 1source record 962
well I think there's a difference btw not getting lonely and aversion to socializing. I am not averse to being around people and I like socializing, but I also spend lots of time alone and don't ever experience loneliness. I imagine one could be averse to socializing but also still get lonely, they don't have to be mutually exclusive.♥ 1source record 1215
Me too! I always think I’m being a hypochondriac or exaggerating everything or acting for imaginary audience when I’m alone ☹️always wandering if my emotions are real♥ 0source record 1399
I’ve given my sisters eulogy in my head full on sobbing knowing damn well she was in the next room. I do thins kind of imagining often especially when I need a good cry 😅♥ 2source record 1500
Right? Im very theatrical with myself...imagine with others?🤣🤣♥ 3source record 1502
I had an ex whose exhale air THRU HIS NOSE smelled like farts 😩 so imagine suffocating to the smell of farts and his mouth is CLOSED 💀💀💀♥ 1source record 1709
“Picture this” “imagine” “in your minds eye” I literally thought they were all figures of speech, not that people actually could see it in their heads.♥ 6,981source record 1816
Same! I can imagine everything, but when i close my eyes there’s no picture of what I’m imagining.♥ 365source record 1820
Wait I’m confused how do you imagine things without visualizing them♥ 186source record 1821
I have an idea of them, but i don’t see a picture. It’s like a black/grey static screen on a tv when i close my eyes and try and visualize something. It wasn’t till a TikTok where i realized people actually see things when they close their eyes.♥ 137source record 1822
Ohh that makes sense now, that’s so interesting to hear because I’m always visualizing things.♥ 23source record 1823
It’s because we remember what it looks like’s and can imagine it but not actually see it.♥ 9source record 1827
for me, it’s like i know what im supposed to be seeing and i can imagine a very faint image but it’s not in my head, it’s like im thinking of the image. it’s so weird♥ 22source record 1828
The example that I always use to people is a star. I can imagine one and know what it would look like since I've seen stars so many times, but I can't close my eyes and SEE it.♥ 5source record 1832
And I wonder if people confuse this question. Do you see a red apple or you know what a red apple looks like? I can imagine it is blue or rainbow but it is still visually all darkness.♥ 3source record 1833
Wow that’s so interesting. I always thought everyone could visualize things in their mind. I even do it when my eyes are open. Like while someone talks to me I see everything they’re saying as if there’s a little movie playing in my head.♥ 38source record 1836
yeah typical i can vaguely visualize something ive seen before, but i can’t create new things.♥ 3source record 1845
We can still imagine, just not visually. I am constantly imagining things, and intellectually I know what they look like. I just can't "see" them. It dawned on me not too long ago that people who draw can actually see the image in their mind and draw items from that image. Blew me away 😂♥ 222source record 1846
We can imagine! Just not with pics♥ 8source record 1850
same! I vividly visualize EVERYTHING. it's really a blessing and a curse.♥ 7source record 1858
I was shocked when I noticed everyone can picture things in their head.♥ 7source record 1859
No I understand what you mean, I was just clarifying that those of us who do have mental images don’t actually see things behind our eyes♥ 3source record 1860
If anyone is seeing things with their actual eyes/behind their eyelids instead of black, they would be hallucinating, which isn’t the same thing! 😊 It’s all in the mind, but to some who can visualize things in great detail like myself, it *is* as if you’re “watching” a movie, just in your head. Hopefully that makes sense haha♥ 2source record 1864
We can feel other people’s emotions very intensely as if they were our own. I can’t see someone cry without crying. We are just really good at imagining how someone else must feel in a situation. It can be very painful.♥ 12source record 1915
I can’t imagine mines non stop♥ 1source record 1943
I write letters to people that I have imaginary problems with in my head idk why♥ 6source record 2005
Oh hey you just taught me a new word 😂 I totally do this all the time but never imagined it had a word! Thank you💐♥ 2source record 2334
I visualize months vertically omg 😭 but like in two columns apart, the first column is from August to December, the other one is from January to July♥ 9source record 2585
I’ve heard of this! I visualize them in a circle, like a clock! Lol♥ 5source record 2587
Ummm I was more referring to emotions that a song can evoke. So if you’re “seeing” the sounds in your minds eye, if you’re hears a song with no words and it still plays out like a movie in your head you could have synesthesia! I’d do some research!!♥ 3source record 2681
Or the feeling of stepping off a cliff or the drop of a roller coaster? Like do most people get these impressions? Or do I just have a vivid imagination?♥ 1source record 2682
I'm afraid of the dark and I used to always imagine a golden man so tall he had to bend his neck at the ceiling, standing just around the corner in the room behind me. it would scare the shit out of me♥ 0source record 2901
Those old tvs make a noise when they are on. You’re not imagining it♥ 1source record 2969
I imaginarily type them like on a keyboard 😭 I've done this as long as I can remember♥ 1source record 3075
I’ve always thought this was weird. I know a few ppl that can’t visualize when they close their eyes. I can’t stop it even my eyes close♥ 0source record 3147
Same! I didn’t know people could actually visualize images. Blows my mind lol♥ 2source record 3149
I have this, too! In school whenever I was told “close your eyes and imagine…” and I just think “I can’t see anything. I can picture it better if I can keep my eyes open…”♥ 1source record 3154
people can visualize and see things they imagine when they close their eyes...not me lol just black♥ 1source record 3156
Haha I mean if you aren't looking at a balloon how do you know what it looks like? I think most people can "picture" stuff but they're taking the words see or visualize too literally♥ 0source record 3157
Lol yes it's normal to see nothing when your eyes are closed. When people talk about visualizing they don't mean literally optically seeing things♥ 2source record 3161
me either, I visualize with my eyes open actually. I kinda blank out or something. Like I can still see things out of my peripheral vision, but my focus is wherever I'm visualizing.♥ 1source record 3164
This happens to me one time. Except I actually saw it before it happened. Not imagined it. It happened twice in a row in the same spot.♥ 4source record 3194
this happens to me but unfortunately there's no specific time frame for how long it takes for the thing to happen. Sometimes it's minutes other times it's way later. I have to look around me for clues to realize the scene that I had visualized is now happening♥ 8source record 3197
Me too. Yesterday I decided to water some plants. On the way, I visualized a frog jumping on my leg. Yep. I was on the porch flailing around. I think I willed it to happen.♥ 2source record 3198
THIS ISN’T A NORNAL THING!?! I’ve always visualized time. I thought everyone did that! 🤯🤯🤯🤯♥ 0source record 3638
Oh wow I see months like an L shaped then the summer months rounded connecting the 2.. weeks are a straight line for me.. is this weird? I can’t unthink it or change how I visualize it♥ 1source record 3644
wow I can't even imagine that. that's gotta be wild♥ 1source record 3661
Teach him about how some people can imagine that and some can’t but that it’s not something to fear - it’s like a super power! I tell myself it’s my body healing itself which is why it only happens when your eyes are closed! You can feel active healing but you usually can’t see it♥ 1source record 3708
VINDICATION! lol everyone I’ve mentioned the celery thing too things I’m imagining things♥ 3source record 3765
STOP IT RIGHT NOW! I do it in cursive too!! It’s always been that one “tic” I’ve been most curious about! Or if I feel I miswrote it I imagine I erased the word/sentence and start all over.♥ 1source record 4010
Girlllll I be imaginary crossing stuff out sometimes 🙈 I have no idea why I do it and never asked if anyone else has before♥ 0source record 4011
I don’t see pictures in my memory/imagination♥ 2source record 4088
When I imagine something, I can see it, but like no I can’t? 😭 It’s like a far away super transparent screen I think I can see but sometimes idek 😔♥ 1source record 4180
Not every body can visualize something completely altered from its current state . I can see a bathroom remodel in my brain before getting started . Others informed me that’s not normal . Huh o♥ 2source record 4188
Someone can ask me to imagine or picture a potato 🥔 or anything else and I can. But nor many people could😆. Also I see the same 3 numbers everyday in different forms♥ 1source record 4227
While I’m driving I imagine that I’m jumping the car over shadows or lines on the road like they’re hurdles. When I was younger I told my dad about it and he was shocked because he does it too.♥ 0source record 4263
I can’t “see” things in my mind or visualize anything took me a long time to realize that others can♥ 0source record 4295
does anybody else imagine people or themselves dancing to songs stuck in your head or newly listened?♥ 0source record 4301
I can taste things in my mind while thinking of food. Like if I’m planning a recipe I imagine what everything would taste like together or a couple ingredients and I can usually "taste" them in my mind.♥ 3source record 4362
I see people and animals in the road when I drive?? Mostly at night when it’s extra dark out but sometimes during the day but I SWEAR I’ll see someone standing there and it’s nothing not even a tree it’s just there and then it’s gone?? I’ve hit my breaks for imaginary deer before♥ 3source record 4416
Months and Days of the week are also in color for me. I also "see" the week laid out in front of me and the calendar year is in a circle that I travel around all year in my minds eye.♥ 3source record 4420
Is it normal to not be able to visualize things? If you told me to visualize an apple, I get the idea of red and a circle but that’s it. I don’t really “see” anything.♥ 2source record 4475
hyperphantasia♥ 2source record 4509
I can see my daily task list in my brain. Throughout the day I check in to see what I have marked off. I thought everyone could visualize things like this. Different paper, colors, fonts etc depending on how I feel about the day and what I have going on.♥ 2source record 4549
I couldn’t believe some people don’t visualize things in their head!♥ 2source record 4611
I can’t visually imagine anything at all, only conceptually/other sensory types of memory.♥ 0source record 4970
I didnt know people could actually visually imagine things. Turned out I had anphanatsia.♥ 1source record 5000
I can make my body feel numb using my brain by imagining my body is turning grey. I do it when I get too much pain with dysmenorrhea. I concentrate to make my pain go away. It’s like magic.♥ 1source record 5185
I don’t know if this is normal but I can see clothes on myself. I never try anything on because i can see the clothes on me in my head. Same thing with my hair I can imagine the craziest hair styles on me and can replicate but explaining it’s like i make no sense. But i see it and it makes perfect sense.♥ 1source record 5200
I d8dnt know other people actually see what's in their imagination. I just think about it but others can actually see stuff when imagining it.♥ 1source record 5228
Well not really what you’re asking for but I just recently realized other people can SEE picture in their mind! Like think of an apple…some people can see an apple bc they are thinking and I just see black! I thought everyone was like this and visualization was a metaphor!♥ 1source record 5314
Some people can, apparently, just stop worrying about something… like they just don’t want to, so they don’t. I can’t imagine♥ 1source record 5340
having a superb imagination♥ 1source record 5378
That everyone can’t “leave their body" and live completely in their imagination♥ 1source record 5387
I can visualize things without them being there. Furniture in a space, the potential of something.♥ 1source record 5550
I can create movies and stories in my head but if you tell me to try and imagine a sunset or an elephant or something I can't♥ 1source record 5562
People can’t actually imagine things or images… what!?♥ 1source record 5675
I can’t picture anything in my head. If you say “imagine an apple”, there’s not even a visual concept of an apple. No shape, no color. Nothing.♥ 1source record 5795
Tiktok taught me I have hyperphantasia. I work in interior design so I didn’t realize everyone could just stare at a space and reimagine it all in their mind visually, in accurate colors, to scale♥ 1source record 5869
This 😭 9/10 times I’ll just picture myself or ppl I know otherwise they will be a faceless shape. It’s why I never understood discourse between fancasts 😭 like why are y’all fighting over blond men with brown eyes who all look similar 😔♥ 1source record 5873
I discovered that other people can actually SEE things in their head?? And it’s infuriating because I think it would be so fun to be able to visualize things♥ 1source record 5898
Had no idea others could ACTUALLY picture things in their head, I cannot 😂 I can pull a memory of what I know something looks like or think of what it would look like description wise but not just picturing the object and that’s crazy to me♥ 1source record 5942
when you stub your toe, and it doesn't hurt immediately and you know that when that payments in about a second it's going to be so much worse than you could probably imagine and that it is. apparently that pain delay, not normal♥ 1source record 5946
I thought people were lying when they could picture things in their head and faking it during meditations like “picture the waves rolling into the beach.”♥ 0source record 6060
I can’t imagine, picture things in my head, and have little to no imagination. I didn’t know that was uncommon♥ 0source record 6195
some people don’t picture things in their brain like they can’t picture an apple when they think of it idk that’s strange to me♥ 0source record 6289
I can see/hear/feel/taste detailed images in my head like a movie but I struggle to see/hold numbers in my head. Even simple math—it’s like someone is erasing the chalk board every time. Even memorizing numbers is difficult, but I could paint the sistine chapel with my imagination 💭♥ 0source record 6325
Not everyone can visualize things clearly in their imagination. I can visualize things exactly as they are in my head.♥ 0source record 6398
That people can actually picture things with their eyes closed. I just see black. Always wondered why it was relaxing to “picture yourself on a beach”♥ 0source record 6407
there are moments where I will experience the visual landscape of a place parsed in layers throughout time. in my head, I can turn back the clock of what a place used to look like so easily. it doesn't feel the same way that imagination does. the scene of it will pop into my head complete.♥ 0source record 6410
Thought no one could actually picture things or when in fact it is just me♥ 0source record 6512
This might sound so super weird but like. The voice in my head is basically an imagine friend. I actully speak out loud to it sometimes and if I’m doing smth or listening to someone else or smth I make bets with it. Like I bet 20 bucks I open this and there this many. It’s weird I might be weird idk but yeah I’ve done it ever sense I could remember and have never told anyone 😭♥ 0source record 6542
I didn’t know every one didn’t see their memories/flash back as if they were watching a movie in their head if that made sense 😂♥ 0source record 6567
I thought everyone visualized the year in a straight line of mini calendars of each month, zooming into the month you wanted to see♥ 0source record 6622
This is a really weird one…but when I envision (I’m a visual person) numbers 1-10 I see them as having a gender and a particular look/age for each. I know crazy lol…also when I think of (visualize) the months of the year they are layout in my mind in a certain way… if that make sense. For example, it’s like actual paper calendar sheets that have been taken out and laid out in a specific manner. In my mind Aug.-Oct (how it begins instead of Jan.) are next to each other but Nov. is bottom right corner to Oct…it’s weird would have to draw it out which I have to my husband. He thinks I’m weird 😂♥ 0source record 6704
I didnt know other ppl can actually picture things in their mind♥ 0source record 6707
that people can imagine things….i got nothing in my brain…makes me so annoyed as an artist though♥ 0source record 6795
I’ll get the most painful, sharp pain in the top left of my rib cage (where I imagine my heart being) in the middle of breathing and I’ll have to take shallow breaths until it dissipates or it feels like my heart is going to combust. I thought this was normal but I have yet to find someone who this has happened to♥ 0source record 6812
my brain basically generates subtitles in my minds eye of what i’m hearing. it’s hard to hear/process a word i can’t at least sorta spell it’s like a gap in the subtitles♥ 0source record 6855
My husband has it and I have hyperphantasia and the moment we both figured it out was WILD.♥ 0source record 6930
when i watch a movie and someone is in pain I can imagine the pain and what it would feel like. example a nail going threw a foot an arm getting ripped off even though I've never felt that pain before♥ 0source record 6933
hyperphantasia♥ 0source record 7019
i literally imagine every single little thing♥ 0source record 7077
I can’t picture anything when I close my eyes. I was always so confused when told to close your eyes and imagine being on a beach. 🏖️me sitting there like ▪️♥ 0source record 7120
I can’t picture things in my mind. I always thought that was metaphorical when people said to picture something.♥ 0source record 7170
that apparently when someone says they can visualize things that they actually can. i always assumed everyone saw nothing but could still identify the thing your visualizing like i do. sounds confusing as hell but a few will get what i mean♥ 0source record 7174
When I listen to people I play out what they are saying like a movie in my head to be able to actually grasp what they are trying to explain.♥ 0source record 7284
being able to taste, smell, hear, and align different things with other things, like for example the song "the diner" by billie eilish is exactly how id imagine a diner to sound, the word diner. the song poison tree is a cold winter night that is super violently windy yet calming♥ 0source record 7320
I thought it was normal to look at a place like a far away corner or roof and immediately visualize the perspective from there♥ 0source record 7615
I thought everyone gets so caught up with imaginary conversations that their hands enter the chat and sometimes blurt things out loud randomly♥ 0source record 7633
I thought when people said they visualized things it meant they just knew how to describe it really well. It wasn't until I was in high school that I realized some people can actually 'see' what they think.♥ 0source record 7645
I don’t visualize. I didn’t realize for a long time that some people can actually see things in their head.♥ 0source record 7692
I have hyperphantasia. I thought everyone could remember literally everything that’s ever happened to them as if it were happening right now.♥ 0source record 7745
I see random patterns of colors in my mind when listening to music…or sometimes I see a movie playing out in my head that is a result of the ideas or feelings that the music causes me to feel.♥ 0source record 7869
I can visualize and feel physical trauma. Im not sure how to fully explain it, if Im watching the news or listening to someone talk about an injury they've endured I get this feeling in my gut and can visualize and feel it happening to myself. Like a gunshot wound, or being stabbed, etc. It's like my mind and body are empathizing with that person.♥ 0source record 7883
Full, in-color, complete imagination. Where you can picture everything and anything in your head like you’re looking at it right in front of you.♥ 0source record 7899
That people can *actually* visualize things in their head. Like, what?! 😭♥ 0source record 7912
imagining & vividly picturing death scenarios & escape plans when a passenger on planes, trains, etc.♥ 0source record 8015
can't close my eyes and "imagine" or see anything but black... no imaging in color.... thought everyone was like that and didn't understand when people would say close you eyes and picturing being somewhere or seeing something, it's always black and never understand it's not a normal thing..♥ 0source record 8022
if there's something I need to do, I'll visualize myself getting up and doing it, until I do it.if that makes sense♥ 0source record 8134
Also imagine my surprise when people talked about seeing and smelling songs they were just associating it with these things when I was physically tasting and smelling them♥ 0source record 8213
if someone tells me to picture an apple i can very clearly visualize and see a real apple, not an outline or a cartoon♥ 0source record 8394
I have always visualized people I love dearly.. dying. To the point I cry for them. Its been a blessing and a curse. Feeling the sadness of them dying gives me more gratitude to have them..♥ 0source record 8445
Visual projection. I thought everyone could move furniture in a room they are in, change the color of the walls, and imagine whole new spaces.♥ 0source record 8511
I think about what others think. Like, not in the sense of judging others but rather the opposite; I think it requires imagination and guess there’s a limited supply of that in the world.♥ 0source record 8526
not being able to imagine something from a description if I haven't seen it before. i can imagine a pink elephant with wings because I have seen all of those things individually.♥ 0source record 8536
Not really being able to literally picture things in my head. People apparently can see images in their head. I cannot. I may, when trying very hard, get the suggestion of an outline. It’s barely there like when you catch a glimpse of dust in a sun ray.♥ 0source record 8562
I didn't have an imagination. so I used to put pressure on my eyes to see the pressure dots and I would use that as my "imagination"♥ 0source record 8564
When I learned other people can actually visualize things in their “minds eye”. Do guided mediations, go to their happy place, do mental math, etc♥ 0source record 8582
idk if it happens to other people but my vision is almost like I can see heat waves and atoms, also when I'm thinking in my head, whatever I'm imagining will glitch then other weird thoughts and images overlay over the glitching thought and a boutch of voices are talking at once♥ 1source record 8623
Also didn’t know when people say “imagine you’re laying on a beach ..” that ppl can actually imagine that♥ 0source record 8626
I get the same nightmare every few days, I’m at prom with a faceless man, then I’m licking out a wedding dress, we then get married. We become poor and move in with my parents. The man disappears and I suddenly have two children. My child stabs my mother and my father disappears. I live in the house with my children while my mother’s dead body is in the basement. Then I die. I wake up then, and it’s 2 A. M. On a random Tuesday and I have school in a few hours.♥ 0source record 8636
That some people can’t visualize pictures/objects when they close their eyes. If i close my eyes and think of an Apple, i will see an Apple in my head♥ 0source record 8797
I thought everyone else’s minds were silent like mine and the phrase “picture it” was just a saying and not actually telling someone to see an actual picture of something inside their head♥ 0source record 8897
not being able to actually see things when I imagine them. I always thought it was just like thinking about it. nope....people actually can see things in their thoughts♥ 0source record 8913
Not being able to visualize things. It’s just blank.♥ 0source record 8953
Anyone else visualize in their head whatever they’re explaining?♥ 0source record 9210
Also my husband told me that he isn’t always making up random people in his mind and scenarios for them. I told him i especially like to do it before bed bc it’s like watching a movie in my head.♥ 0source record 9276
That everyone can imagine themselves on a beach in color!♥ 0source record 9372
Visualizing my death all the time even though I'm afraid to die 💀♥ 0source record 9433
When I close my eyes, what I see is like colorful salt and pepper against a black background (my eyelid) and it’s constantly swirling and forming shapes. Sometimes I can make shapes appear if I think really hard on them 🤷‍♀️and no I’m not talking about my imagination. Is this an everyone thing?♥ 0source record 9441
Not everyone has an imaginary audience that they discuss things with...♥ 0source record 9633
When people are talking about their childhood or anything from their past, I could picture them in that moment like a reel playing in my head. Also, sometimes I see color Hughes on people.♥ 0source record 9637
I'll sometimes imagine myself in a car crash and play out the scenario until my funeral is over.♥ 0source record 9655
sometimes i convince myself that if i leave my cat home alone there will be a fire. i unplug everything imaginable in preparation and then cry my makeup off. or i just don’t leave lol♥ 0source record 9662

I can't visualize anything in my head. I can project an image in front of me and work with it like JARVIS in a way. It helps when I'm designing. I also see with a chromatic aberration life effect unless I'm looking at my phone.

so like.. what do you have? I can't imagine not having an inner monolog♥ 1source record 118
That people don't see a "movie" in their head when they read.♥ 102,425source record 228
It’s called aphantasia. I have it but I love to read books.♥ 1source record 231
I teach high school English. I had this discussion with my classes. The kids that see the movie like to read; those that don't see the movie see it as a chore.♥ 1,503source record 244
I have aphantasia and love to read, always have. I still feel immersed in the book, its just not visual.♥ 694source record 245
I love to read and can't picture anything in my head♥ 271source record 246
I LOVE reading and I have aphantasia! A lot of us are voracious readers!♥ 0source record 247
This is called aphantasia. I have it too. Can’t picture things in my head♥ 1source record 250
I can't imagine reading a book without imagining in your head what's going on like playing actual images in your head otherwise what will be the point of reading?♥ 0source record 268
Aphantasia. Found out I had it when taking a yoga class and she told us to imagine walking in the forest surrounded by trees. And if you can see it just imagine it. While I can think of that scenario I cannot visualize it. When I close my eyes and think of something I see the back of my eyelids and that’s it. Some people can close their eyes and see a 3D apple and move it around. I see black. 😆 pretty wild concept. As a creative I have to sketch out what my mind is thinking of cause I can’t actually see it on my head.♥ 0source record 278
yup I don't see anything really in my head when I read and it made me feel like I'm really missing out when I found out a lot of people do♥ 0source record 298
This must be why that has never bothered me... because I can't visualize anything when I'm reading.♥ 0source record 929
I can't think of any other way to explain it. We absolutely can imagine things, just in a totally different way that entail seeing a literal picture in the mind instead of seeing it only within the imaginary realm. ✨ Like, if I close my eyes I see black instead of the image of that emoji. But I can still imagine the emoji. Some people with Aphantasia see outlines or super vague images and some see blackness. My husband and I both see black so when we were learning about this it was very difficult for us to grasp as well because we experience the same thing.♥ 0source record 936
i can't see anything in my mind, i couldn't describe my parents, children or husband to anyone. i know what they look like but i can't describe more than blue eyes, skinny and approximate height♥ 1source record 964
It’s called Aphantasia, I cannot picture things in my mind even though I can draw it, explain it, and known exactly what it looks like! It’s frustrating to know other people picture everything, I also grew up in a family that is OBSESSED with reading and I never liked it, Guessing that’s why.♥ 2source record 985
Not being able to see a picture doesn't mean we can't imagine things. I imagine every setting in detail based on things I've seen before. It has always made me wish I could draw though.♥ 1source record 991
I cannot visualize what I read. I have no imagination I feel♥ 0source record 992
its mind blowing to me that some people cant picture things in their head. I cant imagine not being able to imagine 😬🫣♥ 1,599source record 1817
Hi, this is NOT not being able to imagine. I have aphantasia and a vivid VIVID imagination. it's just not visual!♥ 409source record 1819
what do you mean you imagine it ? but don't see it ? no one literally sees it with their eyes. but you see it just spawn in your memory no.♥ 3source record 1835
OMG I CANT VISUALIZE ANYTHING BUT MY DREAMS ARE SO VIVID AND CRAZY. I also can’t remember how people look, so I can’t describe anyone. Even if I see them everyday for years, I still have picture them in my head to describe them♥ 9source record 1841
I’ve just spent the last 10 minutes reading about it. Just realized I have total aphantasia at 44. Thank you.♥ 6source record 1842
Okay. So I don't make pictures in my head right? I still know an orange is round. And that it has those little pore looking dimple things. And that the butt end has a little brown starfish looking doodad. So if you were to say 'imagine an orange', I'm pulling forward all those known traits and holding them in my conscious thought. I just don't see a picture of it. We have all the same thoughts, we just use different pathways of information in our brains to get there. I think it often indicates deep intelligence and/or neurodivergence. Esp because most of us don't know that it's any different. The term aphantasia was only coined in 2015. I hope that helps?♥ 2source record 1844
Not the person you asked but I also have aphantasia and I can’t see a single thing when I read books. I love to read but drawn out descriptive scenes send me right to sleep lol!♥ 31source record 1854
I was wondering if that was a thing as far as contemplating whether something exists or not when you can't picture them♥ 0source record 1865

I have aphantasia. Zero imagination. Sucks. 😩 I see the world factually.♥ 2source record 4099

Not being able to see thoughts. I realized I just have aphantasia but honestly so many people do so it’s not that crazy♥ 2source record 4146
I have “Mind Blindness” I thought it was normal to have the inability to create mental images, until I found out that’s NOT normal. I have Aphantasia♥ 1source record 4169

I can't imagine how noisy that is.♥ 1source record 4239
I have aphantasia. I can't visualize anything♥ 0source record 4258
Aphantasia. I can’t visualize things in my head, it’s mostly just void. People like me generally find creative fields because we can’t see the end result of a project and so are more open minded to where it can lead instead of being caught up in something looking exactly a certain way. We’re also really good with character dialogue!♥ 0source record 4280
My entire life until I was an adult I thought when people said to “picture something” it was in a metaphorical sense. Turns out I just have aphantasia. Still kind of mad I can’t do it♥ 0source record 4286
I have aphantasia, I have no mental imagery or imagination 😅♥ 0source record 4287
aphantasia and anauralia♥ 0source record 4331

i have aphantasia and no internal monologue. i didn’t know people could actually visualize things. i thought it was just figure of speech 😂😭♥ 2source record 4530
I cannot see images in my head when i imagine things… I never realized people could actually see images when they close their eyes. I’m so jealous of that♥ 2source record 4534
aphantasia. i always thought when people said they imagined or pictured something in their mind that it was a figure of speech and not that they actually saw something with their mind’s eye?? that sounds so fake what♥ 2source record 4588
i have complete aphantasia, so i cant imagine or daydream whatsoever. i grew up thinking imagination was just.. thinking. didnt know visuals were involved. yall are so lucky 😞♥ 2source record 4634
I have Aphantasia and can’t visualize… I still think its insane that people can see things in their mind♥ 2source record 4736
I have no inner monologue and total sensory aphantasia. I thought when people were “visualizing” that it was a metaphor. And I just realized when people do voiceovers for thoughts in movies…yall actually hear your own voice?! That is WILD to me!!!♥ 2source record 4763
Aphantasia, I didn’t know people actually picture things in their head. I just see the backs of my eyelids♥ 1source record 4879
Hyperphatasia, which I have ( I can visually see images in my mind ) but others can’t which is aphantasia♥ 1source record 4891
I thought everyone was lying about being able to see images in their head as I see nothing. I still love reading, drawing, and have the most vivid dreams (somehow), but aphantasia makes it to where imagining stuff is pretty much impossible for me♥ 1source record 4945
aphantasia. I actually didn’t even realize I had it until my mid 20s because I thought that everyone’s brain worked this way and didn’t realize visualization wasn’t just conceptual, that people actually SEE visuals from their mind in the visual field. 🤯♥ 1source record 4969
Aphantasia. Didn’t realize I had it until I was 16. I always thought when people said “close your eyes and imagine blah blah blah” that we all just tried our hardest to think of what it would feel like. Didn’t know others could actually see it in their brain♥ 1source record 4974
It's not really a "happen to me" but I have aphantasia and I didn't even know until I was in my late 20s because I thought it was a figure of speech when people said "close your eyes and imagine this"♥ 1source record 4992
Aphantasia. I didn’t know that being able to see things in your mind was real… Also just learned the name roughly three years ago but have had it my whole life (I’m 22)♥ 1source record 4994
aphantasia. i can’t visualize anything in my head♥ 1source record 4996
Aphantasia - I have no images in my brain, when I close my eyes and “imagine” it’s just ideas no pictures, I’m still skeptical that others really have images up there♥ 1source record 5041
I have aphantasia and no inner monologue. didn't know I was different until I saw tiktoks about it.♥ 1source record 5071
visual snow, i've had it as long as i remember and i remember asking about the tv snow that is overlaid on everything we see in my high school psychology class and everyone looking at me like i was absolutely bonkers wonkers. i didn't learn it was a thing some ppl have until a few years later when someone who also has it told me about it. also my mind is extremely visual, i can picture anything you ask with ease and i can remember things visually fairly well (i lose peripheral details over time but can remember the main visual details of an image for a long time). i know the memory thing is not as common but i didn't know some ppl genuinely couldn't visualize things or see them in their "minds eye" until last year when i met someone like that 😭 i still don't know if the majority of people think visually or not tbh♥ 1source record 5132
i thought "picture this" was a figure of speech but apparently i just have aphantasia♥ 1source record 5138

I have aphantasia and no inner monologue! Which I found out is very rare 😅😅😅♥ 1source record 5392
I thought everyone pretended to use their mind’s eye when told to imagine something because all I ever see is black. Turns out I am 1-3% of the population who has Aphantasia. 🤷🏻‍♀️♥ 1source record 5402
Not everyone thinks in words and people can't relive movie scenes in their heads. They also don't see a movie in their heads when they read. This made me sad and confused.♥ 1source record 5423
people can't visualize and see images in their head blows my mind♥ 1source record 5442

I didn’t realize when people say they “visualize” books/memories/scenarios etc they ACTUALLY see images. My whole family has aphantasia.♥ 1source record 5776

That "imagining" things in your head is not a bit and people actually can do it, i thought we were all just joking when people talked about dreams or counting sheep to go to sleep.

Aphantasia. 😭♥ 0source record 6726
I didn't get classes til I was like 10 and I just thought the world was blurry until then. my mind was fucking blown. I also can't visualize things well, when I try to picture an apple it's like concepts of an apple, not a clear image♥ 0source record 6774

ok, when I was a kid I thought everyone would just run through their favorite movies in their heads when bored. like, I couldn't visualize it, but I could remember entire movies because I would hyperfixate on them so much. I also just assumed everyone had sensory issues. I did not understand how general society functioned (still don't tbh)♥ 0source record 7267
aphantasia lol♥ 0source record 7270

Aphantasia. I thought “visualizing” just meant focusing really hard on a thought. I didn’t realize people actually do see pictures in their head. I found out well into my 30s that not being able to visualize is in fact somewhat unique♥ 0source record 8618
aphantasia♥ 0source record 8703
Aphantasia, which explains why I struggled in school, when I was told to memorize an image or to picture myself somewhere. Also why I only like graphic novels. Normal ones just give me a headache and I get tired of just staring at words on a page.♥ 0source record 8725
I cannot visualize or have an internal monologue. I thought is was a figure or speech.♥ 0source record 8726
Aphantasia. I thought when people say “picture this,” it was an expression, not that anybody was actually “seeing” anything♥ 0source record 8733
I have no minds eye! I thought “picture it in your head” was a figure of speech. I rarely dream and when I do it’s only dialogue, no images♥ 0source record 8749
I can't visualize anything in my head. I can project an image in front of me and work with it like JARVIS in a way. It helps when I'm designing. I also see with a chromatic aberration life effect unless I'm looking at my phone.♥ 0source record 9026
Aphantasia. Not me but my daughter has it. It started by her telling me she couldn't remember faces at all or see them in her head.♥ 0source record 9182
I cant see faces in my head unless ive seen them before, I can see books like movies and the people doing the things in the books but no matter how well a character is described, I CANNOT imagine their face... and even though I cant see their face, I still get disappointed when a character from the book is not what I thought they would be in a movie? if that makes sense? 🤷‍♀️♥ 0source record 9194
I recently learned that some people can actually visualize images in their mind. If I close my eyes, it's black, I can't see images 😭♥ 0source record 9218
not being able to make mental imagery 🤗 (aphantasia)♥ 0source record 9267
Lucid dreams with the ability to read and tell time, tachysensia, aphantasia, ceaseless inner monologue, and BPPV. All of it started in early childhood, so I've learned to manage over the yeara♥ 0source record 9289
I can't picture anything in my mind. like if you tell me to picture a bright red apple on a tree all I see is black. I also LOVE reading but dont feel like I'm part of the story I'm just reading words and following the storyline basically. I know I have aphantasia for sure but idk why I can't do the other thing🤷🏽‍♀️. oh and I have no inner monolog or hear music or anything else in my head its just silent 24/7 unless I'm actively listening to something.♥ 0source record 9384
When everyone told me to use my imagination as a kid I got super frustrated because I didn’t understand. Turns out I have aphantasia.♥ 0source record 9425

aphantasia♥ 0source record 9558
Aphantasia(sp?) that ppl see pics in their head and don’t just “know” the details and essence of a thing, but see an actual image/pic/movie IN THEIR MIND. They don’t just see blackness with neon colored blobs. Mind blown.♥ 0source record 9581
I have aphantasia, and I can’t for the life of me understand how people don’t get overwhelmed with seeing images in their minds eye. Like, I know what an Apple looks like, feels like, and smells like but I don’t see it when I close my eyes.♥ 0source record 9603

So you don’t like… hear a voice in your mind when you read or write? I’m trying to imagine how you process without hearing it?♥ 0source record 107
I turn my inner monologue on and off at will. Mostly off. I need it only if I'm preparing to write or say something, usually. (The mental images are another story... 😂)♥ 1source record 112

I have never seen visuals in my head but love reading.♥ 0source record 248

Ok so does anyone else ever get confused whether they’ve seen something in a movie or read it in a book? I swear the acquired knowledge aspect feels the same to me lol♥ 0source record 275

My teachers thought I was dumb and put me in summer school as a kid because I was such a slow reader. It’s because I make movies in my head when I read. I’m a CRNA now. 😂♥ 1source record 301
I came across someone that was almost identical to the character that I created in my own imagination from a book. I just froze. 🤣♥ 0source record 922
This!! I can’t read the book before seeing the movie. The only time it was even close was Harry Potter and great gatsby♥ 0source record 925
Book is always better because our imagination is so much better♥ 1source record 938
Yes! I get a mental picture of the characters in books and then if a movie comes out I hate that these people are all wrong. Outlander was almost unwatchable for me.♥ 1source record 944
50 shades when I read the books then saw the movies was NOT what I expected at all. Serious let down.♥ 1source record 948
Yep. It sucks. Or the cover with pics of the characters ruin what you imagined in your mind.♥ 1source record 949
This was part of why I just stopped reading bc the movies would never live up to my expectations and it would just ruin it for me. I think the last time it happened was in middle school when I was reading Percy Jackson and in the movie Annabeth looks nothing like how the book described her♥ 1source record 957
Sorry, my brain just can’t fathom that. I don’t know how you can imagine a character if you don’t imagine what they look like.♥ 1source record 969
That's me. The movie sucks for me if I've read the book first.♥ 1source record 972
I’m still struggling to comprehend that people do not visualize what they are reading. It’s more than visualization, it’s a mood.♥ 2source record 995
I can't. even when they describe everything on the whole head. I'll see the color of hair and then just a blur for the face. if I watch a movie and then read the book I can then understand and enjoy a book much more, cuz I can see the character due to the movie haya♥ 2source record 999
This! I have to prepare myself to watch a movie when I read the book! It is very distracting when the main characters do not match how I thought they looked in the book! 😳♥ 161source record 1002
Jurassic Park theme song seems to be my brain song for the month. Haven't seen the movie in years. Read one article about dinosaurs and randomly I just start humming it.♥ 0source record 1621
I have an entire screen play happening in my mind while reading. I can visualize the whole book as If I’m watching a movie♥ 19source record 1852
When I read a fiction book, I see it in my head like a movie. Nonfiction is different though, more like seeing photos I guess. I do think some authors spend WAY too much time describing pointless stuff like you said 🤣♥ 20source record 1856
Since you’re already seeing them it cant hurt to ask for them to look! They can at least rule out aaa and with the imaging needed for that theyll be able to see for sure if it is a hernia then theyll probably have you follow up with a gastro if it is.♥ 0source record 3109
If I’m reading silently then I all of a sudden start imagining my own voice reading the words instead of just magically absorbing them I get distracted and have to stop reading and I hate it♥ 4source record 4024
I thought everyone could watch a movie in their head while reading something. This is why I can’t read horror books. Way too graphic and I can see it all😳 prefer some spice and sci fi.♥ 2source record 4635
I see life as if someone was reading my story as an actual book or watching a movie about me♥ 1source record 4903
Being able to hear electricity especially when it’s high; being able to smell and or taste mold; being able to smell ants but only certain ones; can see movies in my head when reading, can visualize shapes or pictures in my mind, have an internal monologue and adhd 🤣 and much more♥ 1source record 4954
I thought everyone visualizes something when they read such as a scene or sm, but apparently some ppl don’t 😭♥ 1source record 4998
That not everyone has an inner voice in their mind. Or that ppl don’t see a movie as they read a book just words♥ 1source record 5164
I’m still surprised people don’t visualize books as a tv show or movie in there head when they read them like how do you process the information then♥ 1source record 5422
When hearing a story, I thought that everyone saw a movie in their head of what was happening in the story♥ 1source record 5655
Seeing a book as a movie in my head. I thought everyone did this.♥ 1source record 5835
I can’t picture characters when I read, unless the book has been adapted into a movie. NO idea what color hair anyone has unless they mention it a lot, and I forget as soon as I move on to the next part.♥ 1source record 5872
Especially an old book I've read, can't remember if it was a movie or book. I can see mini movies on the fly.♥ 0source record 6100
When reading I see it as a movie and then I change the endings of the story if I don’t like it and will fully believe that ending and everytime I re read the book I’ll stick to my ending.♥ 0source record 6115
Also I can’t not visualize what I read. So anything I read its like a move or tv show♥ 0source record 6720
Since I was about 9 anytime I would read in school or outside of school I would imagine Morgan Freeman’s voice in my head reading to me while I read a book or anything else.♥ 0source record 6721

A lot of the things people are saying they have in the comments I have. Visual snow symdrome, not just one inner monologue but 2 going at the same time, echolalia, when reading I see a movie, maladaptive day dreaming, I could go on.🤣🤷🏻‍♀️♥ 0source record 7224
I can’t see anything in my head. Like if I’m imaging a cow, I know it’s there, but I can’t see it. I didn’t know people could actually visualize things. Don’t even get me started on reading a book♥ 0source record 7422
Smell the rain, being able to watch an entire movie in my head with audio, hearing my voice in my head when thinking, reading is like literally watching movie in my head or being there, being able to sing or write or do things in my mind, the list goes on tbh♥ 0source record 7846
When I read, I'm the narrator with ALL the voices, while watching the movie in my mind...🥰🥰🥰♥ 0source record 8718
seeing a movie in my head while reading, feeling texture just by looking at it, I wear glasses and I'm pretty blind when I dont have them on so I know people by how they stand or walk. I can also mimic their walking and talking. I also repeat everything I hear in my head, its like it echos in there.♥ 0source record 8810
that some people do not literally visualize every single thing they read or write or when they are being spoken to, I have a constant movie playing in my mind of everything that happens all of the time♥ 0source record 9043
I thought everyone imagined a movie like scene when they read.♥ 0source record 9146
When I hear and audiobook or read a book I can’t visualize what the author is describing. That said, I remember photos from when I was a kid and young adult. I remember all of them!♥ 0source record 9264

THIS!!!! Who doesn’t do this???!!! Isn’t that the point of reading to use your imagination to build the scene 🎬♥ 0source record 9657

My feet hurt and the bottoms start to sweat profusely when my fear of heights is triggered. Whether in real life, watching a movie, or just imagining it vividly, my feet physically ache with yearning for the ground. I thought everyone’s feet hurt when they saw great heights until I was 32. That said, if there’s a secure railing higher than my center of mass (like on a balcony) or some other sort of engineering or harness system I trust (like a cable on a cliff face drilled into rock), I’m totally fine with it.

i’m fascinated by that stuff too, no worries at all!!! for me personally it’s just the idea of “i need to do this” - a little hard to explain, but it doesn’t come out in words, just the idea itself. i’m very good at picturing things in my head so i just picture the thing i need to do usually!♥ 5source record 128

Yeah it’s called “my entire childhood” lol… and it wasn’t even that traumatic, comparitevly♥ 19source record 1344
Nah. We're traumatized babes♥ 1source record 1364
can also be a sign of the tism, you're conscious of acting correctly for the situation should you be observed. It's an awareness of the need for masking and mirroring appropriate affect. might be worth exploring in testing, there's several different types of adult diagnostic tests; and this is one of those things. could also be from anxiety, especially if it's rooted in having had a narcissistic parent- figure.♥ 23source record 1413
This happens to me when I get really stressed♥ 0source record 1622
That’s crazy because I used to not want to be here so long ago but I’m better now and I still get that random feeling. But I am an anxious person and I get stressed easily. But that feeling I hate and always confused on♥ 5source record 1668
Right! Like some people say they like throwing up. That they feel better. Heck nooooo. It’s soooooo traumatizing.♥ 11source record 1753
Im emetophobic and at times times in my life it has lead to extreme eating disorders. Food is a constant war. But in actuality the internet has helped me realize Im not alone instead of the opposite.♥ 12source record 1774

I was that way growing up and into my early adulthood. I think mine stemmed from anxiety.♥ 8source record 2241
I feel like the people who don't have the voice probably also don't suffer from anxiety as often because there's no one up there just spiraling for you♥ 392source record 2538

I HATE when ppl ask me what I’m anxious about. Literally everything and nothing idk it’s just there lol♥ 1source record 2545
it somehow makes me feel claustrophobic♥ 0source record 2555
It’s wild to me that people are just not neurodivergent or have some sort of mental disorder and have absolutely nothing, for lack of a better word, “wrong” with their brain. I have depression, anxiety, and adhd, so I’ve always wondered! And this is a genuine curiosity of mine, like what’s it like???♥ 17source record 2662
After being given a mile long diagnoses list , it makes me feel like everyone has to have SOMETHING. There’s no way someone doesn’t have anxiety, depression, ptsd sooommething?!? Like there’s really people who don’t? I can’t comprehend it being factual♥ 1source record 2664
I felt this just reading your comment. They also get super claustrophobic at even the thought of socks and sneakers sometimes♥ 13source record 2881

I randomly, not often, get adrenaline rushes that make me almost blackout. apparently its anxiety according to a dr but who knows. I have chronic migraine too.♥ 53source record 3411

Ever since I was little lights give me anxiety. A light burned out that’s always on? Anxious. A light turned on that usually isn’t? Double anxious.♥ 49source record 3571
Because it wasn't real but it felt real, it was obsessive, and could have ruined my entire life if I'd have acted on it. Telling my husband and my closest friends helped pull me out.♥ 3source record 3725

🙋‍♀️Me! I still get randomly hit by "trauma moments" from my childhood. It's brutal♥ 44source record 3891
No, but I'm absolutely sure I have had it my whole life. I think I could also be diagnosed with Autism if I knew how to get diagnosed. My social anxiety and aquwardness is next level sometimes. I just don't see the benefit of getting diagnosed at 47. Meditation has greatly lessened my symptoms.♥ 1source record 3925
Haha omg no you’re good!!! Sometimes I wonder if I have a little touch of ocd tendencies but i think it might just be anxiety♥ 0source record 3982

Weird that we’re on the same video 💀 I would say it’s either OCD or an anxiety disorder!♥ 1source record 4197
Apparently most people can't turn their emotions off at whim. Or see people so clearly within 60 seconds or less of interaction. Trauma related, apparently. I really flexed those muscles in college and eventually realized that the pattern recognition was destroying my life. There is both good and bad in everyone. Ive learned to see both, but most people don't even out. Thats why I stick to myself.♥ 0source record 4323

Always needing to be ABSOLUTELY and utterly obsessed with something to the point where I master it, then I have to move on to the next thing (photography, building PC’s, working out, video games, art, sports, list could go on so long so I’ll just say etc)♥ 1source record 4908
Just living with chronic anxiety everyday where my mind races 24/7. Apparently not normal♥ 1source record 5008
When I close my eyes, once in a while it feels like I can see white noise, like my head is a white room slowly filling with static and it feels so LOUD that I start to get almost claustrophobic♥ 1source record 5088
unsure what it's called but sometimes when I'm experiencing anxiety the world flips? upside down and backwards. then things will start getting super big and tall and I turn into an ant :I lol yeah idk but I always have to call to get someone to rescue me when it happens 😅🙃♥ 1source record 5223

Magical thinking. I catch myself thinking stuff like, “if I don’t drive over that line/bump in the road, I will have a good day”. Totally irrational, but my brain acts like it matters. It started in during childhood trauma, it’s my way of trying to feel some control♥ 0source record 6176

Seasonal depression. But not normal like just for winter, but a sense of grief and melancholy and a feeling of anxiety and eerieness at the change of every single season. I till I adjusted to the new season. But I felt so dumb for this and couldn’t describe it. I’d be so excited for spring, but when it came, I’d get that same feeling. Fall was my favorite season but still, it would finally arrive and I’d have to go through this two weeks shift until I felt normal again and settled into the new season. It’s like the change just stirred me up too much emotionally. Same with dusk/twighlight/sunset. It was this awful, forlorn, depression, lonesome, eerie, creepy, sad, horribly guilty feeling that would overtake me. I would NOT be outside alone at dusk as a child. And same with naps! If I took a nap, I’d wake up with this feeling. I hated naps so much and I still am not a big fan. But mostly now as an adult, I’ve worked through a lot of this and when the feelings creep up, I can tell myself I’m safe and it’s ok. When I’d come out of the mall after shopping or out of the theatre, if it wa starting to get dark, I’d just feel like sobbing my eyes out. I tried so hard to pretend I wasn’t bothered because I didn’t want anyone to feel bad, but it fr felt like the world was ending and I’d never be ok again!♥ 0source record 6605
These replies are giving me anxiety bc why do I have all of them♥ 0source record 6640
I had an insanely existential dream when I was 5. Ever since I've experienced a strange type of anxiety that follows me. The only way I can describe it is that is similar feeling to how it feels when someone aggressively gets right in your face. It has also given me a strange revulsion to the color purple. Weird I know.♥ 0source record 6757

Hearing people’s thoughts, feeling their emotions, and knowing their lying since I was a kid. Grew up thinking everyone experiences this so I never talked about it - it was the source for my anxiety and depression. Turns out, not everyone was having the same experience 😅😂♥ 0source record 7096

Idk if there’s a name for it, but thinking people can’t see you or don’t recognize you? And other times feeling like everyone is staring at you and analyzing everything you do. Feeling jerky like your body doesn’t move smoothly and having overwhelming anxiety that people are waiting for you to make a wrong move so you trip and bump into things a lot. Knowing you’re in your body, but it’s like your spirit is not quite aligned with the shape of your body kinda like it’s shifted an inch or so out of focus? Do any of yall forget what your face looks like? Or think you look differently than you do?

Sometimes I become aware that I exist and that I’m a living person and it fills me with an immense amount of fear. I’m not talking existential crisis or anxiety. I’m talking extreme panic.

The call of the void and unwanted flashes

42 source records

Appears when: The call of the void and unwanted flashes

What the pattern means: Commenters described sudden unwanted thoughts or images that felt alarming and inconsistent with what they wanted to do.

What commenters described: I get intrusive thoughts and I unwillingly visualize them. Sometimes I get a thought or phrase stuck on repeat in my head as well.

⚠ Needs contextContext: Unwanted, distressing thoughts and fear of losing control are recognized OCD features, and having an intrusive thought does not mean a person will act on it. But intrusive thoughts occur outside OCD too; diagnosis depends on recurrent obsessions or compulsions that cause substantial distress, time use, or impairment. The word 'never' is too absolute, and any real-world risk concern needs individualized assessment. Sources: NHS — OCD symptoms · National Institute of Mental Health — obsessive-compulsive disorder

I get intrusive thoughts and I unwillingly visualize them. Sometimes I get a thought or phrase stuck on repeat in my head as well.♥ 12,654source record 1003
I could never! Intrusive thoughts like to pop up especially right before bed lol♥ 1source record 1334
also i feel like no matter what im doing, its a performance. i could be crying alone and my head tells me im just performing or acting but there’s no one around. nothing feels genuine, but it could also be intrusive thoughts from my ocd♥ 217source record 1396
Omfg. I have never- NEVER- had someone else describe this happening to them. I have literally felt this way my entire life. Same exact intrusive thoughts to the point that I start to wonder if the thoughts are true. Maybe I AM just performing/acting. That is wild. 😧♥ 0source record 1401
I was in a college Intro to Psych class when I learned that daily thoughts of suicide was not normal. They’re still daily. I have to explain intrusive thoughts to every therapist♥ 1source record 1662
I thought throwing up was violently traumatic for everyone 😩♥ 1,403source record 1718

I’ve had intrusive thoughts permeating my brain since I was a small child. It baffles me that people don’t have them because I can’t imagine my mind having silence. It happens very very rarely.♥ 1source record 1949

I live in a world where intrusive thoughts are constant, and I found out last year that I have OCD, which causes intrusive thoughts. medication helps!♥ 0source record 2224
actually everyone does get intrusive thoughts! but people with ocd get their thoughts stuck on a loop and they do compulsions to make them go away but they come back worse. we just don’t move on from them essentially whereas other people just don’t think twice about it♥ 0source record 2226
Yep tik tok helped me learn what intrusive thoughts were and it made me feel better because some things I think are literally so gross and insane♥ 0source record 2227
My therapist (I have OCD) told me that we have these intrusive thoughts because of how badly we DONT want to do them. Like we are so frightened of doing them. We fear we will lose control and act on them but we never do, which is why it’s OCD. Most people can have an intrusive thought and it passes immediately but we obsess over them.♥ 1source record 2229↑ Open the fact-check
This is OCD. Source: I’m diagnosed with it due to intrusive thoughts 😂♥ 0source record 2230

Intrusive thoughts, can’t stop them. But I’ve learned that a lot of it is intuition. When I think of something going wrong if I do something specific, it could be 5 seconds or 5 hours later, that thing going wrong in my head always happens♥ 1source record 5539

It was mentioned before but meditation and if your rolling your eyes, I promise it works speaking from experience. I have ADHD and use to have severe anxiety and intrusive thought. Meditation doesn’t quiet your mind completely but will put you back in the command seat and helps your realize you’re separate from your thoughts. It’s a lot easier to pull yourself out of thought loops. If you don’t like meditation, yoga, dancing other physical activities help you get out of your mind. 🧘🏿‍♀️♥ 0source record 6495
I was a horrible driver. I couldn’t tell how fast a car was coming at me when i pulled into traffic so i took gaps i shouldn’t have a didn’t ones that i should’ve. Turns out a concussion had given me BVD and with a proper pair of glasses it’s fixed. It also was causing clumsiness, severe anxiety, shoulder and neck pain, and it even progressed to the point that i struggled to track words on paper and could barely read a book. It was like i was tipsy 24/7 but i had learned to live with it 😅♥ 0source record 7259

Not really sure how to describe this- but I subconsciously count letters (consonants vs vowels) in my head to see if words have more of one than the other. For example, if I’m driving and see a sign that says “Roadwork Ahead” I will count and see how many more consonants than vowels there are. I’ve done this since childhood and catch myself doing it more when I’m overwhelmed. Maybe it’s an ADHD thing?♥ 2source record 4195

When I was a kid I remember always being able to see these misty looking orbs flying around. Some would dart by and others would drift slowly by and then disappear. Any and all directions. They were mostly white, some were dark gray. As I grew older I rarely saw them and I don’t see them at all anymore. I’m not crazy. It would keep me entertained and I would always ask my mom if she could see them too.♥ 1source record 4199

Lane assist has only had to snap me out of it once, 4-5ish years ago. Weeks after I got my first truck that had that feature and I’ll never buy or even drive a vehicle on the highway without those features but I’m 44.

Déjà vu and moments already lived

47 source records

Appears when: Déjà vu and moments already lived

What the pattern means: Déjà vu was described as a powerful sense of repetition, but similar wording alone cannot establish why it occurred.

What commenters described: I thought everyone got extreme bouts of Deja vu, turns out it was a precursor to having a silent seizure

Limit: SEIZURE AURAS! I thought they were extremely intense déjà vu and I thought other people experienced déjà vu the same way I did because it just got worse when I got pregnant. I ignored it for over two years until I had a grand mal seizure..…

✓ Supported, with contextWhat the evidence says: Déjà vu can occur as a focal seizure symptom or aura, particularly with temporal-lobe seizures. It is also common in people without epilepsy and is not diagnostic by itself; recurrence, similarity between episodes, associated symptoms, and clinical testing matter. 'Silent seizure' is not a precise seizure classification. Sources: Epilepsy Foundation — focal preserved-consciousness seizures

deja vu♥ 1source record 1192
There's a theory that deja vu happens because of a slight misfiring in neurons. tge brain puts the new experience in long term memory as it's happening. so you feel like it's something that happened before but you know it's novel.♥ 1source record 1639

This happened to me once in high school. My boyfriend was killed a couple weeks prior to a camping trip at a National Park. It was night, I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror at my reflection, but it didn’t feel like I was looking at me. The next thing I knew, I was in front of a lake a mile away from the bathroom and my friends grabbed me, freaking out. It freaked me out too. Only happened once but I’ll never forget the mirror reflection and then looking at my real self in the reflection of the water. I just blamed it on extreme stress from the trauma.♥ 1source record 3398

yup and another important thing is to not entertain anything about anyone that has the potential to be an LO. once you realize you’re capable of limerence, it’s crazy that you can almost FEEL it creeping up on you.

Not really. I have a photographic auto memory because of it and makes being a lawyer very easy. I ask myself a question and all the sources & all books I read from immediately comes in thought form♥ 0source record 114
Yeah, exactly. My thoughts are generally intentional, for lack of a better term. I mean things will like pop into my head but they don’t really stick. I rely verrrry heavily on lists but like when I’m needing to make a grocery list, I can’t just think of things I need or if I run out of something, I won’t remember it later. I also don’t hear a voice when I read, which is apparently weird??♥ 2source record 139
I always thought I had no memories, turns out I just need assistance in accessing them. If someone triggers the door opening with the right key words, I remember everything in extreme detail. I just don’t possess the keys😂♥ 0source record 1368
Idk everyone couldn’t do this-I would tell my son when he is reading to picture what the story is describing in his head like a movie cuz then even boring topics (on state tests) will be remembered-he got frustrated saying I wasn’t making sense-then I was frustrated…ty tiktok♥ 6source record 1849

I remember every single detail, to this day and it been 16 years♥ 7source record 3583
I remember every single thing. When I was younger, I used to think everyone else could too. Then, I started to realize I was the only one and other people forgot small (and big) details and events. I remember what I wore in 3rd grade on a random Tuesday and what I had for lunch and the conversations. 🫣😆♥ 2source record 4141
I daydream 80% of the time an literally stay on autopilot but it’s super vivid real daydreams full of emotions sometimes I cry or get mad whatever I’m feeling in the daydream then I just come back periodically through out the day still remember everything my body was doing and just continue life♥ 2source record 4194
photographic memory. my teacher realized i had it in 8th grade and I thought everyone could pull up the exact picture in their heads♥ 1source record 4208

I have photographic memory. Not super unusual♥ 1source record 5023
I thought it was normal to remember little details about a casual acquaintance, like their favorite color they mentioned once or their address from when they mailed you something 3 years ago. I have accidentally creeped people out by remembering this stuff 💀♥ 1source record 5142
I remember literally everything (not school related like math or English or history tho) just things that have happened in my life/ personal details bout other people♥ 1source record 5491
people remembering things isn’t flashes of exactly what you were seeing when it happened.. why i find stuff so easily.♥ 1source record 5507
I’m a bartender at the end of the night I can remember every single food and drink order per person. But I get extreme anxiety trying to remember a name number direction etc.♥ 0source record 6091
I think if something in the future and tell myself that I will remember the moment of me thinking about it when it happens. Example, I'm cleaning my house and I'm looking forward to being all cozy in bed watching my show so later on when I actually am in bed, I will purposely rememeber that exact thought I had earlier of being excited to get in bed. It's like I'll think of future things where I already know how I'll feel or what will happen and will go back when it's actually happened and reminisce on that thought I had.♥ 0source record 6094
I thought everyone had a photographic memory 🤷🏼‍♀️♥ 0source record 6769
photographic memory♥ 0source record 6983
I always had an immaculate memory, I remember things from when I was 2.5-3 years old, I could describe a house we lived in or a hospital visit I had. I would randomly remember things that happened when I was really young and only recently I learned that most people’s memories only go as far back as when they were 5-8 years old. That was an unexpected self discovery♥ 0source record 7452
If I see someone out that I haven't seen in a while or don't have a super close relationship with, I will NOT initiate conversation because I'm afraid they won't recognize/remember me. Yet, I remember everyone's faces. 😭 Probably a trauma response.♥ 0source record 7856
For a long time I thought everyone had photographic memory♥ 0source record 7882
Songs I associate with times of my life have tastes. Like I listen to the song and remember the time of my life when I listened to it the most and that time of my life has a taste. I can’t describe the taste beyond it was during that time♥ 0source record 7953
If my brain ever perceives a bad smell it just turns off my smell sense. Nobody ever believes me, they think I have an issue problem, but I can just turn it back on any time I remember or there's a better smell LMAO♥ 0source record 8087
I describe my memory as a photo album. I can remember certain moments in extreme detail by picturing the “photo” in my head, going all the way back to pre-school.♥ 0source record 8305
I imagine things so vividly that I can smell, taste, and even feel things sometimes. I don't think I have photographic memory but I can leave an object in another room and get a close to accurate measurement of the object. only if it's shortly after seeing it though.♥ 0source record 8688
I remember every single spot I see roadkill. Every. Single. One.♥ 0source record 8735

Unless this gift is sanctified by God it will be wasted on not knowing why you were given the gift. This gift is to help the bad and good. You pray and ask God what would you like me to do with you’ve shown me God? Pray for them or with them? Do I tell them? Even bad people need freedom and God wants to free them. Your gift is like you’re a watchman for specific people, to intercede for them and direct them to Jesus. You need to know Jesus for yourself to operate in this first. 🙏🏽♥ 0source record 1677

I’ve done this weird thing since I was little and it’s still so hard to describe. I can look at any room in my childhood home or pretty much anywhere and i stare at one spot and i can make the whole room feel like someone else’s place with no familiarity.

Maladaptive daydreaming!! I have hundreds of stories and other lives I’ve dreamt up over time and they’re like little vhs tapes in my mind. Usually I keep going with the same one for a while until I’m happy with it, but sometimes I dust off an old one I’ve thought up before and play it again or rewrite it.

I think about death 24/7 I can’t live a day w/o thinking about it, I also maladaptive dream about it all day every day. Literally I can not turn it off and I don’t wanna go on meds cause then I won’t b myself but imma have to cause it’s so exhausting. I be in a spiral all day. When I’m not thinking about it I’ll tell myself then I’ll eventually think about it.♥ 0source record 6439
Intense “empathy” in the form of i canNOT consume anything too violent, gory, or disturbing, bc now it is my experience and I now have second/third hand trauma and can almost practically FEEL what’s happening to someone in any form of media or even convo. My imagination is very vivid, and if I don’t control it or distract myself, I can and will fall into a deep daydream of a traumatic intrusive thought and literally go through all the emotions I would experience during said thought. Great for reading a good book, not great if you accidentally hear or read or watch something horrible happen to someone and it sends you into a deep spiral and is added to your collection of triggers in the back of your mind!😃 (bonus points if I find out an actor/tress went through trauma during filming something!)♥ 0source record 6463

Hah, here's a fun thing I didn't realize was abnormal until a while ago. Actually, 2. 1. The innate trauma response to shut off *sobbing* (allowing you to still try to feel it but not show it) - a therapist in 2020 witnessed me sobbing and then she told me to calm down [or something related], handed me a tissue box, and I felt the emotions shut off. Then she freaked out and was like, "that's not normal!" - which made me cry again bc what do you mean I'm making you upset by now NOT crying? 2. Most people don't cry and have serious mental health issues (typically revolving around genuine SI/sh ideas, or running away, rage, etc.) at nights and in the mornings forget why they were depressed/mad. That was my entire life from at least 6th grade (11yo) to probably 21yo. Only way I ever knew was 1) texts, 2) letters I'd write, and 3) vague holes in my memory when I'd try to think back. still no idea if that's from my bpd or a possible dissociative disorder issue, or just simply CPTSD. It became such a typical, usual issue for me that I nonchalantly brought it up to my last therapist in 2024 during a small convo and she started going on a "wait" and "so does that" and "but that doesn't make sense..." calculations to herself. 😅😅♥ 0source record 8446

Ontological anxiety— the unsettling awareness of one’s own being, existence, and identity, particularly the inability to step outside oneself.

Later-arriving source

I completely disassociate from conversations for different reasons whether it’s something I’m genuinely not interested in, or bored of, or my brain just wants to think about something else. It happens often, I can’t control it, and it is so rude. People close to me can see the second it happens and call me out. People that don’t know me well may not notice or just don’t say anything. The worst part is when they ask me a question after and I snap back to reality and have no idea what to say.

Derealization when going into deep thought. Slipping into deep thought so intensely that your surroundings begin to feel strange and far away, like when you repeat a word so many times it starts to sound unfamiliar and loses its meaning.

Stoppp I didn’t know this was a thing. I’ve noticed it and always was like “I feel like I’m in a projection, able to see every pixel” but I thought it was normal. When I was little it made me feel out of body like life wasn’t real and I’d have come aparts 😭♥ 0source record 614
Did this a lot working retail. The Jon Hamm Black Mirror ep was a weird visualization of this♥ 1source record 876
same and I feel like not real? idk how to explain but almost like im out of the box and I just want to go back to bed so I can get rid of the feeling.♥ 2source record 1283
kinda weird but does it ever make you feel like reaaaally thirsty too? i get this random sense of existential dread every once in a while and it’s almost interchangeable with an extreme thirst. it’s happened since i was little. it also happened a lot in the third trimester of my pregnancy and when breastfeeding.♥ 0source record 1663

This used to happen to me during an especially stressful point in my life. I actually liked it when I looked in the mirror and I looked like some random stranger. I always looked at myself somewhat critically. Turns out I’m just normal looking 🤷‍♀️♥ 1source record 3399
I thought that everyone couldn’t tell real life from dreams or vise versa when I was growing up I would constantly ask my mom if something actually happened or if I just dreamed it… turns out I just had severe dissociation when I was younger😭😭😭♥ 1source record 4084

I can experience the reality of another person. I used to do it at school when I was bored. I would kind of astral project into their rooms to see their things. I could do it wherever and with whomever. As an adult, I choose not to and block it.♥ 2source record 4665

anything remotely close to scary or horror bothers me so much to the point where i can’t sleep at night unless i have on some type of light or background noise. no matter how much i tell myself it’s not real, i’ll always think that something is lurking in the shadows, waiting to get me.♥ 0source record 7251
Sometimes my body will just go numb, & if I’m doing something that’s supposed to hurt or usually would(like if water is too hot) my brain is able to recognize “this is supposed to hurt..” but it just..doesn’t? It’s like my body just decides “I don’t wanna feel rn..” & it’s random, not like certain times or something, just random and can happen any time. It’s the weirdest thing. & I don’t really feel things on certain parts of my body, like if someone touches me, I don’t really feel it like it feels like they’re hovering over my skin or touching me lightly when in reality they could be fully touching me♥ 0source record 7413

Random tickles behind ears(shocks), leg numbness, popping joints out of place on command basically, nauseous each morning, random fainting/dizziness, depersonalization many more🥲😅♥ 0source record 8107
Derealization. Feeling like you’re watching someone else in your body. Like you’re in a painting and everything around you is fake; I really thought it wasn’t that weird cause I’ve always suffered from it, until I started mentioning it and people just 😬 looked at me like that 😂♥ 0source record 8197

Derealization when going into deep thought. Slipping into deep thought so intensely that your surroundings begin to feel strange and far away, like when you repeat a word so many times it starts to sound unfamiliar and loses its meaning.♥ 0source record 9036
so i grew up where i constantly would feel lighter than air. like i felt like i was floating and it was always at the most random times. idk what that was but i still get that from time to time. almost feels like im not real♥ 0source record 9171

If I yawn too hard I get a cramp similar to a Charlie horse under my chin and I have to push the muscle back in to stop the cramp 😳 my DR said that’s not real so I never asked about it again♥ 0source record 9591
Experiencing the exact moment of my life. I'll just be chilling and suddenly I think "This is the exact moment of my life" and this intense feeling of disbelief washes over me and time seems to stand still. it's almost like I dissociate because my brain can't process the reality of the moment and then I think I'm looking back at myself in the past but realize I'm not. the moment is right now and that's all that is. tomorrow never comes. my heart starts to race and my head feels light like I'm floating. I'm stuck in this surreal moment of comprehension of my existence. Its an overwhelming feeling. there's really no words to describe it. then within less than 5 minutes I snap out of it and I go back to normal. I thought everyone experiences this from time to time but when I describe it people are like "Huh? no don't know that feeling"♥ 0source record 9690
i don’t feel real. like i’m watching behind a screen and nothing actually there. i’m in my mind more then reality and i hate it♥ 0source record 9995

Yes!!! I can predict A LOT of things and people. Idk if it’s just pattern recognition, discernment, or intuition but there are things that I JUST KNOW… I predict peoples actions or just how certain things/events will unfold. I’ve never met anyone that goes through this too. I’ve learned to embrace it and trust it. I used to question that feeling but I can say that I have yet to be wrong about any of the things I’ve sensed or predicted.

i can manifest things happening to people if I truly believe it. let's say someone tried to bully me and I imagine them getting beat up or hurt , days later they may get Into a fight or accident. for instance, I was sick of getting bullied at work by my boss and I imagined something made her life stressful, days later she had terrible migraines that never stopped whenever she was around me. she hated being around me. matter of fact , I've had a few people complain of headaches only when around me . idk why.100% of the time if I pray outloud about someone treating me mean, bad things happen to them: car accidents, fights, headaches, sickness, death of a family members...tons of things but I have to really believe it. that's why I hate when people lie about having lots of money bc if I believe what they say for some reason they end up getting the money they lied about♥ 2source record 4733

So BPD is emotional instability, feelings of worthlessness, insecurity, impulsivity, and impaired social relationships. In a nutshell. I put a ✨twist✨ on being an empath.

I’ve had so many dream premonitions and even I don’t believe me sometimes. Like, I’ve told other people the dreams before the thing happens, it happens, I have legitimate witnesses to what I’ve done and even I gaslight myself like “did it really happen?” Because it just doesn’t make sense lmao 😂 I also just know things sometimes. Like, I’ll text or call my friend almost every time she’s having a bad day. Literally two weeks ago I got on Amazon and bought her a small item on her wishlist because my brain told me to. The next day, when it arrived, she got into a pretty bad argument with a friend of hers and was having a really bad day and ta da, surprise present shows up. I’ve mailed cards to her too, and had them show up exactly when she needed kind words. It’s wild.♥ 0source record 3186

I only learned a few years ago that most people don't visualize a constant stream of text as people speak. I am pretty sure it's why I've always had near perfect spelling and a large vocabulary, because the repeated images of the words stick with me! It's called ticker tape synesthesia. Mental subtitles! I also watch everything with subtitles on, but I'm not sure if that's actually related. Anyone else with it that does the same?♥ 0source record 6584
I see written and spoken words in color♥ 0source record 6631

Ranked by resonance — how a comment landed within its own arrival window — not just by who posted first and racked up the most likes.

I randomly drop things a lot. Like my hand just loses all ability to grip and I drop whatever it is. Idk why.

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. 🤷‍♀️

I’m actually curious if this happens to other people. But. When people fall or get hurt like in movies…I feel it. Like. In my body. If I see them fall or see the pain. I can actually feel it. 😂

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..

My daughter has "GALACTIC CATAPLEXY"& it's soo BIZARRE!-her laughter triggers a sudden loss of muscle tone or control,brief episode of muscle weakness or paralysis! She can't even lift her arms while laughing or sometimes her legs buckle if she's standing.

Conversation context and side chatter

What people found out wasn’t universal

Eight things this comment section kept rediscovering, one “wait, that’s not normal?” at a time.

Bodies with a mind of their own

705 coded comment records

An involuntary, specific reflex — watering eyes, a cough, a numb tongue — that almost nobody else recognized.

  • Having to stand not straight — either pelican legs, bending at the waist, or leaning to the side. STRAIGHT IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE.♥ 1,163
  • I thought everyone’s eyes watered when they yawned. 🥱 also I just yawned while writing this comment 😂♥ 176
  • 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♥ 640

Dreams that don’t play by the rules

551 coded comment records

Sleep turns out to be a much stranger place for some people than others.

  • 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.♥ 316
  • I thought everyone could lucid dream. Been doing so almost my whole life♥ 474
  • I’ve had sleep paralysis probably 500 times. And it hasn’t happened to anyone I ever talk to♥ 1

An accidental diagnosis

450 coded comment records

Strangers describing symptoms clearly enough that other strangers could finally name them.

  • I’ve always done this, and recently just got diagnosed with OCD lmao♥ 742
  • Until I was in my mid 20s I thought everyone had a high pitch ringing in their ears at all times….nope turns out I’ve just had tinnitus since I was a child.♥ 455
  • Tasting blood and wheezing when you exercise, no matter how in shape and consistent you are. (Thought runners were lying about liking running.) Yeah, that’s asthma. I was 34 when I got diagnosed. Finally mentioned it to someone 🤷🏻‍♀️♥ 500

Smells and tastes that time-travel

445 coded comment records

A scent or flavor that snaps someone back to one specific day — and nobody standing next to them smells it too.

  • Sometimes it smells and feels like the first day of school I can’t explain it♥ 3,902
  • 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.♥ 20,386
  • I thought everyone could see smells. Until I told my cousin that something smelled hella round and she was absolutely confused and then I was absolutely confused💀💀💀♥ 942

No inner monologue, no mental pictures

388 coded comment records

The realization that “picture this” was never a figure of speech for everyone.

  • Not everyone has an inner monologue. That some people can hear nothing in their minds. Mine never stops.♥ 118,191
  • “Picture this” “imagine” “in your minds eye” I literally thought they were all figures of speech, not that people actually could see it in their heads.♥ 6,981
  • I don’t see anything in my head at all! Reading or imagining, doesn’t matter♥ 2,833

Seeing a world other people don’t

332 coded comment records

Static, sparks, halos, and colors that turned out to be a syndrome, not scenery.

  • Visual snow syndrome. I found out when I was 27 that hardly anyone else sees the world like that♥ 49,639
  • I thought everyone struggled to see at night while driving. Every light is a huge glare, thanks astigmatism.♥ 10,307
  • Synesthesia! I didn’t find out other people didn’t have it until I was 17♥ 1,079

A sixth sense for what’s coming

150 coded comment records

A feeling that turned out to be more accurate than anyone wanted to admit.

  • My first gut impression of someone has never been wrong. I used to ignore jt and give people that gave bad vibes a chance, but they always proved my first impression right.♥ 3,819
  • I thought everyone got extreme bouts of Deja vu, turns out it was a precursor to having a silent seizure♥ 1,011↑ Fact-checked in the answer index
  • Other people may have this too but I can tell when somebody is looking at me. Doesn’t matter if they’re 5ft or 300ft behind me, I get a weird feeling that I’m being watched. 99% of the time I’m right♥ 1,405

Zoning out and living two lives at once

141 coded comment records

A private mental escape hatch that turns out to have several clinical names.

  • Maladaptive daydreaming. I create different lives in my head and play them out until finish 😭♥ 50,830
  • I thought everyone could disassociate whenever they got overwhelmed, I called it the “nothing box” in my brain♥ 3,418
  • Peoples brains actually calm down… Like sometimes it’s quiet… I have a million things in my head CONSTANTLY♥ 844

The diagnoses this comment section handed out

Buried inside the “accidental diagnosis” theme: the specific conditions people named, most-mentioned first.

ADHD

68 coded comment records

The most-named diagnosis in the thread, usually arriving as the explanation for a mind that never stops.

  • I get this and legit thought I was OCD but ended up diagnosed ADHD and when I take medication, the thoughts just…stop 😅♥ 52

OCD

48 coded comment records

Intrusive-thought loops people carried for years before getting the word for it.

  • My therapist (I have OCD) told me that we have these intrusive thoughts because of how badly we DONT want to do them. Like we are so frightened of doing them. We fear we will lose control and act on them but we never do, which is why it’s OCD. Most people can have an intrusive thought and it passes immediately but we obsess over them.♥ 1↑ Fact-checked in the answer index

Autism

46 coded comment records

Eye contact, textures, and “quirks” reframed as something with an actual name.

  • Oof, SO many. Thought I just had "quirks" like hating eye contact, certain clothing textures, getting irrationally angry about interruptions/changes to plans. Turns out I am just autistic and never knew.♥ 331

POTS

46 coded comment records

Standing up and the room going black, finally explained.

  • 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.♥ 38

Tinnitus

42 coded comment records

A ringing so constant some people didn’t know silence was supposed to be silent.

  • Tinnitus, but specifically where my hearing cuts out like I’m a character that just heard an explosion in a movie.♥ 2

Migraine with aura

35 coded comment records

The visual glitch before the headache, mistaken for a universal warning sign.

  • 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)♥ 2

Epilepsy / seizures

31 coded comment records

Déjà vu and zoning out that turned out to be a different kind of event entirely.

  • 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♥ 2

Ehlers-Danlos / hypermobility

29 coded comment records

The “party trick” joints that turned out to be a connective-tissue condition.

  • last year it was EDS, this year it's POTS and turns out I've been this way the whole time but misdiagnosed 😭♥ 7

Sleep apnea

28 coded comment records

Years of waking up exhausted, solved by a machine nobody wanted to need.

  • this is me and it turns out it’s sleep apnea 😢😢😢♥ 56

Narcolepsy

21 coded comment records

Sleepiness so constant it stopped registering as a symptom at all.

  • My sister is like that and just got diagnosed with narcolepsy.♥ 101
