#Hyperawareness
looking back on so much, it's all just so much. there were other things going on so every day i'm truly so happy to not be a kid anymore like THANK FUCK but i do mourn that bit. as a kid there was a hyperawareness of my safety and the gender i was born with, every lil thing came with a footnote.

Come for when my brain goes off into multiple adventures, stay for my seeing internal and external reactions when seeing an animal, enjoy my various hyperawareness anxiety trips, be confused by my musings as to whether turnips or parsnips are better when I get overwhelmed, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

I actually read a really interesting article a few nights ago that really opened my eyes and is something I wanna bring up at my next therapy appointment. I think, due to some trauma I experienced back in 2021, I have Somatic Hyperawareness, or Sensorimotor OCD 😓 Now to just try and overcome it...

U become strange by other ppls standards for noting this kind of shit once u been a victim of white saviourism. (My whole major being communications certainly contributes to my hyperawareness around media)

Perfect response to the glasses remark, even if now anyone reading this is suffering hyperawareness of their glasses *and* their tongue now! 😅

This shit happens to me, like, once a week in D.C. I don’t know any other recourse than to just ride with hyperawareness at every intersection and to assume that any car or truck could turn across your lane at any time. Haven’t been hit yet, but I’ve had way too many needless close calls

"Experimental Log 290: Leaving the subject's pain receptors active appears to yield an unprecedented combination of incoherence and hyperawareness."

I used to get into arguments with low-grade mall ninja types on retrohubs who'd get mad when I said much of what a person "sees" is actually the brain doing post-processing because they were all American Sniper/Daredevil types with 24/7 hyperawareness.

wanted to do, which left me overwhelmed by both decision paralysis and this hyperawareness of "wasting" the limited time I had at my disposal.

Which sucked, and served to make me more miserable throughout the week because it gave the impression I wasn't able to do any of the things I wanted to.

"Call it hyperawareness of my surroundings," Nick said. "When you work in a quiet office, every sound feels louder."

He sat down next to Viv. "You wanna tell me what happened last night? The radio was going crazy with reports."

unfortunately for everyone else just now getting on the train I spent years in terrified hyperawareness of just how bad it could get every day so. Sorry and try not to get too worked up

There are times we pay closer attention to our national politics than others; these days it is hyperawareness. Have to admit a lot of this I wasn't aware of: Trump's fixation on Canada this term started in his first.

#Sustember
I describe a lot of my characters' internal sensations to bring the reader into their experience - muscle tension, hyperawareness of their surroundings, pounding heart, sick stomach, etc. - to show how painfully aware they are of danger.

#Sustember Day 9 | Let's dial a little bit more into the technical aspects of suspense!

What do you describe to keep the suspense up for the reader? How do you utilize the senses? Do you use repetition or stylistic choices?

Let's talk about it!

#HorrorWritersChat I'm actually pulling back on some of the existential dread and pushing some more active dread in final edits of Aloe. Upping tense moments by adding hyperawareness to sound, stuck in a bedroom wondering if someone's found them... etc.
I know the #Horrorwriterschat bods do this, I've seen it. Share your secrets, little ones...

health expert bluesky:

are these food recalls genuinely more than usual, or is it a case of public hyperawareness?

(i'm leaning towards the former, but just wanted to make sure)

Some days it’s like I’m living life for the first time, and its entirely too much, insane amounts of grief mingled with anxiety & hyperawareness. Clumsiness, meltdowns

Tags and memetic phrases and this hyperawareness of the lowest and most surface-level shallow “analysis” need to be put on the high shelf for a while, I’m so tired.

yeah but the problem is in practice as a gay person that looks like constant hyperawareness of where you're shopping, walking, eating...fine for tourism, not fine for living

it happened to me all the time a few years ago, due to very low self-esteem and self-confidence + hyperawareness/anxiety
in any case I recommend self-soothing (you deserve to be calm) and taking moments to think about the stuff you did well in your life to counterbalance 👍

“Hyperawareness of the odds against success” is a mental trait that has blessedly kept me from getting even mildly into gambling, but in all other respects has absolutely ruined my life

I do really need to play 7 and I trust the sources telling me it's good (and oh my god when FF is good it's Good), I'm just someone who's lived through the 2010s meta hyperawareness/multiverse thing and the remakes have me very fatigued

It's like the internal monologue of a very beaten down plural system doing intense social analysis to avoid starting a whole avalanche of conflict on a level so instinctual that it's a reflex and they don't even notice the internal coordination and hyperawareness. Ask me how I know. 🙃
Claude *really* likes adding extra fixed effects and zero-shot classifiers, it’s weird. Like to the point of “shut the fuck up, we’re not using that technique”

the hyperawareness got me too overthinking what to write, what to post, would my readers like this, would i get as much traction, etc. that's not my initial intention. i didn't write for numbers, i write for my loved one and myself - and the fact that other people like it too was just a nice bonus
