People think self-awareness automatically leads to peace, but sometimes it just means you can’t escape your own thoughts. You understand yourself, other people, and situations too deeply to stay emotionally comfortable. This video described that quiet mental exhaustion perfectly.”
“Clarity is a gift, only if it comes with boundries” wow that really hit the nail on the head
Not everyone who stays silent is heartless, some are just learning how to heal.
Sitting here crying because I feel seen. I thought something was wrong with me. 42 yrs old and finally having my own mind explained to me is a profound experience. That’s no I am not broken nor am I alone in these experiences and feelings
Wooooahhh this is sooo me. I felt I was alone, or even something was wrong with me … but reading the comments and hearing the video, not anymore.
This explains a lot. I grew up in "survival mode" from an incredibly young age. I have core memories of running from a gang of bullies in first grade. I had issues beyond fear that led to being in and out of my family home til I was 13. Spent High School in a house with a biological family I didn't recognize and didn't recognize me because of it. Always the outcast and ever able to see the thoughts that people don't speak just based on body language and what was said.
Learning to control that final emotional state of others is a hard skill to learn.
I’m like this, it once led me to 2 years of alcoholism to drown out the noise, now I’m almost 2 years sober and a new father ❤
i’ve never felt more moved and understood in my life before, i couldn’t hold back the waterworks fr…thank you. also if you’re an older siblings here who’ve been there for everyone but never felt like anyone ever had you, i see you. take care of yourself.
I swear you just described my brain better than decades of self-analysis ever did.
“Ignorance is bliss” was definitely first said by someone who was hyper aware
i too thought it was normal to analyze and break down EVERY interaction and EVERY thing of my day. Thanks for letting me know it is and isnt.
The problem is when people fake this shit, it's a pain
"If they can predict every possible variable, they will not be surprised by pain" Is almost the exact phrase I told my therapist in the middle of a breakdown, thank you for helping me feel seen
What's amazing is being hyper aware of something's but then completely oblivious to other things that seem more obvious
This has saved me from work Karens. I NEEDED THIS. I will reply this for many years to come. You’re calling me out & helping me fix myself. THANK YOU
Overthinking, insomnia, anxiety, trying to not get involved, people saying Im a cold person but they dont know Im just surpressing my feelings and worries. Feeling tired everyday. Feeling empty. I didnt know this was not normal lol
If anyone felt truly heard with this video, you are not alone! It’s not easy, but it feels good knowing there are others who think like this. Pattern recognition, heightened awareness, deep introspection, cortisol overload, etc. It’s all just a regular day. It used to stress me tf out, but now I just own it, and I hope everyone here does too 💯
Analyzing, heart beat awareness, end scenario predictions, detecting unspoken words - this all makes much more sense now.
I feel at ease to know that im not the only one with these issues
