There’s a very reassuring feeling I’m having right now seeing so many people write about the same kinds of sensation. Insufficiency. Futility. Infinitesimally

There’s a very reassuring feeling I’m having right now seeing so many people write about the same kinds of sensation.
Insufficiency. Futility. Infinitesimally unlikely. HAD to. Indifferent, malicious. Having to move things in a way that conflicted with the established physics of the situation.
- notvplez 4y agoCount me in the camp of people experiencing this, I associate it with childhood fever dreams. And much later, I encountered the exact same feeling through psychedelic experimenting. Never knew it was such a common experience either, and as you say it's very reassuring.

- maitland 4y agoAlso count me in. Excited to see others with the same experience. I got to the point of rationalizing this as actually being some kind of memory of being born / memory of that trauma. The lack of all proportion to the sensation, along with the incredible stakes, feeling of pressure (literal and figurative) etc…
- Waterluvian 4y agoI’m incredibly skeptical of psychology nutty stuff like this but I’ll add that my brain immediately considered some sort of common trauma like being born.
- Trasmatta 4y agoI've also wondered before if it was somehow related to the trauma of childbirth...not a memory per se, but a trauma imprint. But who knows... So interesting reading all these reports of the same type of thing!
