I recently watched a woman at work walk out of the stall, pick her lunchbox up off the counter next to the sink, and walk out without washing her hands. Double whammy of 🤢
That does sound awful! I thought that's basically what auditory hallucinations were, so (like so many other things now) I'm wondering if I've always misunderstood what that is too. Brains are crazy wow!
Is this a thing for every sense? I swear if there's people out there who can just conjure the taste /smell /sensation of whatever they want I'm going to lose my mindddddd 😩🙃
the act of remembering changes the memory in your brain.
That's kind of why I feel so sad about having aphantasia. Maybe I'd be a whole different person if I actually saw things differently!
I really appreciate your perspective, thank you. This is out of our personal control, being more mindful of how I let myself think about it will probably help more than anything.
Yeah, influenced is a better description. I feel like I'm missing out on an important perspective, like, you know the term seeing things from someone else's point of view but actually seeing things haha
Do you feel like your aphantasia has affected the way you perceive or remember your own life?
I think that's what I feel I'm missing out on the most. There's so many things that I'm longing to remember with imagery now.
I can't imagine how that'd mix with ADHD! Do you get the ADHD "wandering mind"? I'm not a daydreamer at all but I think I would be if I could actually see things!
I LOVE these, big big fan! They're at all the public-land hiking trails around me. Nice little trail map, often dry-erase notes over the glass marking flooded trails or temporarily protected areas. History lessons or something about what makes the area special. Single mittens and kit left like a makeshift lost and found. You know you're in for a really good hike when they have a sign in book! Such an underrated low-cost public service.
Absolutely! I use the Libby app and a regular library card. They link up so you can read all the ebooks in your library system for free, just like checking a regular book out. Sometimes you have to wait for a popular book, which I usually try to appreciate as a rare exercise in patience but can be annoying of course. But it's actually free, no adds, simple to use.
My kid is the homie in this meme waaay too often, I always keep a couple new old-fashioned toothbrushes on hand. Keeps her out of my hair all evening, and her friends are always so polite and clean up after themselves because they think they're getting away with something.
The rabbit's binocular butthole vision seems unlikely
Coffee bean
This man's lack of opinion is hot AF ngl
OMG it's so pretty! Does this surprisingly cute creature have a common name, or just isopod?
It's giving me eyeshadow inspo haha she's got my ideal pale princess colors.
Anyone know where scientists ended up on this? Asking for myself thnx.

It's okay to touch them, they're always your friend they won't hurt you.

Some people WHAT

You know what, that is something I struggle with a bit in general too. Maybe that is part of me feeling so weird about this!

That's a really good attitude! ... Not me though haha I want so badly to be able to control this 😮💨

Why are they so drawn to the basement ceiling

It's nice of your Mom to help out in-between shifts
Guess the only remaining explanation is aliens 🤔
