1. Deja vu

Deja vu is an experience of having seen or experienced a new situation previously. It feels like if the event has already happened before. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of paradox or bizarre. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a constant feeling that it really has happened in the past.

2. Deja Vecu

Deja vecu is what most people experience when they think they are having a deja vu. Deja vu is when one has a feeling that he has seen something before, whereas deja vecu is an experience of having seen an event before, but with great detail as to recognize the smells and sounds. This also is usually accompanied by a very strong sense of knowledge about what will happen next.

3. Deja senti

Deja senti is a phenomenon of having already felt something. The phrase “I have felt it before” perfectly captures deja senti. It is only a mental phenomenon and seldom remains in our memory later. Many epileptic patients often experience deja senti.

4. Deja Visite

Deja visite is a less common experience and includes an unexplained knowledge of a new place. For example, you may know the location around you (a new city or a landscape) although you have never been there before.

5. Jamais Vu

Jamais Vu describes a familiar situation that we do not recognize. It is often considered to be the opposite phenomenon of deja vu. The observer does not recognize the situation although it is known that he has experienced it before.

6. Presque Vu

Presque Vu is very similar to the feeling in the “tip of the tongue”. When someone is ready to say something but his brain gets stuck and a word does not come out.

7. L’esprit de l’escalier

L’esprit de l’escalier is when a smart thought comes to you when it is too late.

8. Capgras Delusion

Capgras Delusion is a phenomenon when a person believes that a close friend or a family member has been replaced with an identically looking one. This illusion is often met in people with schizophrenia.

9. Fregoli Delusion

Fregoli Delusion is a rare brain phenomenon which makes a person believe that different people are the same person in various disguises.

10. Prosopagnosia

Prosopagnosia is a phenomenon in which a person is unable to recognize faces of people or objects he knows. People who have this disorder are usually able to use the other senses to identify individuals, such as the person’s perfume, the sound of his voice or his hairstyle.

Ugh I want to go back to school and put ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IN MY HEAD

I was craving a NY Strip Steak or maybe a mozzarella and prosciutto crepe. I opened my cupboard and saw nothing particularly interesting. I thought to myself how much better things would be if I had taken the time when I was little to learn how to cook. Then I realized that even if I was a culinary expert, this kitchen I was given lacked the resources needed to make anything fantastic. So, after a small sigh, I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. A meal not deserving of any conversation or thought. I sat down and ate my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, trying my best to not think about the fact that someone out in the world was eating a $100 NY Strip Steak.

Ugh this is me every day.

if you call women sluts/bitches/whores/other shitty names, I add you to a mental list of people that will never ever ever get to touch my awesome boobs

Basically, when God made the world and human beings began to multiply, he gave them all crosses to wear around their necks. In essence, each was their cross to bear. When complaints began to rise, he told the people that they could switch their crosses with others - however, all one knew was what their burden was, not what others had around their necks.

They refused, for fear that they would get something worse than they had already.

If I’m being perfectly honest with you I haven’t been very comfortable with the assessment that “people on the internet are offended too easily” for quite some time even though some people have reacted to things I’ve done on here based on misunderstandings that led to the sorts of situations where such a diagnosis would apply

It just feels like a bit of an oversimplification and I mean, there aren’t a whole lot of people who actually like being genuinely offended, it’s honestly really unpleasant

I think the reality of it is that the internet exposes us to pretty much every awful oppressive opinion a person can possibly have and enough experiences in day to day interaction and on our online life can turn you into a very scarred and guarded individual and as such if the situation in question is in fact not offensive, there’s a chance that it’s a misunderstanding or a jump to a conclusion about what the intent of the accused actually was

Not only that, but human interaction is so complex and difficult that we should honestly try to make some concessions to others because it’s a nice thing to do and if they tell you that something you did is offensive there’s a chance it likely was

And it isn’t that chance worth considering? I’m not telling you to take literally everyone’s word for it, but I think you should definitely consider it and use it as an opportunity to educate yourself (“yourself” being the operative word here and not someone else, like the person you’ve potentially hurt) about what happened

Because you can place however much value you want on being able to say anything that comes to mind without being “repressed” or whatever, but you should place much much more value on bettering yourself, expanding your worldview and showing empathy to the people you encounter
