Yes! I never really talked with anybody about that sort of stuff happening in my head when I was younger. I’d put my toothbrush back in the cup and suddenly my brain would be like “that didn’t land right, go back and fix it” and until I went back and fixed it, I’d believe something bad would happen.
I have ticks when I’m stressed, too! But it’s more about tensing certain muscles until it “feels right”…
Nah, what you don’t know is that fly committed some fly crime and saw an opportunity to get tf outta there as fast as possible. London, here I come! Nobody will find me there MWAHAHA
May I ask how you downloaded your Spotify playlist? I'd love to do that.
Or I may go back to apple music as I still have an account there, but would love to move my list over somehow.
You reminded me that when I was a kid I had a similar weird scale thing happen often, but it was incredibly difficult to describe. It was very unsettling and I never really told anyone. I felt like words in my head were unusually big or everything in my head was really intense and urgent, especially my inner voice. It's like it was shouting at me, but not as simple as just volume. It's something that's seemingly impossible to explain. It was like everything was expanding or growing or like I was thinking louder, or just ... Bigger. I used to get really freaked out by it. Then sometimes it would be the same but in reverse where everything confusingly was small, quiet, and felt almost delicate. Yeah. I dunno.
Yes, I can focus and unfocus my eyes at will, I too, to razor sharp vision or so blurry that I can't even make out features on anyone's face. (Without going cross eyed, which I can also do with any eye at a time).
It's a good superpower, as I have glasses that I can wear if I want to which are roughly +3.5, but I rarely bother, because I'll just use my eye muscles to see perfectly well,so I never freak out when I lose my glasses or whatever. I
It's really handy for zoning tf out, too. Which is mostly a blessing, but sometimes a curse, especially as I have the inattentive ADHD where I just go blank faced and stare into the blurry distance whilst totally disappearing inwards.
Lol I skipped past the first paragraph after reading the first few words, as it's just a bunch of words to me, and then realised reading the next paragraph that exactly that was your point. Yes I definitely relate to you 😂
Ha! This happens to me as well! I do have a funny slight extra detail though. I can't really visualise images in my minds eye (almost aphantasia), but when I'm closing my eyes to go to sleep, and a sudden noise happens, I see a flash of white like you, but also usually some random af detailed image flash in my minds eye. It's so weird, always different, always amusing, and the closest I get to visualising. It could be anything, like a old woman in a cowboy hat riding a horse or whatever. Also, I have slight grapheme-colour synesthesia, so it's interesting that you called it wish synesthesia! I wonder if it plays some role!
How strange!
When I have to pee really badly, I feel it in my teeth. Is that weird or normal?! My past partners have never had this uncomfortable tingling sensation from it. I always clench my jaw and wiggle to try and ease the feeling. Obviously also go pee.
Me too! If I'm scratching or picking at my skin, sometimes I feel it somewhere else, so I figured it's normal and just nerve signals being connected somehow, but never spoken about it.
Haha yeah, I did worry that would happen! Just to clarify I definitely don't think they were 'old-timey', I just haven't personally seen them around in new generations for some time.....

People, let man make puns
Thank you for the info! I’ll try it, too.

You share the tooth thing with Tom Cruise! Random thing I learned the other week.
