Ok, here me out, this is so small compare to other c/mildlyinfuriating that people would not casually read what I have to say.

For the last 3 months I've had hiccups 5 times. And I have hiccedup 6 times in total. In Juin It happened for the first time. I had hiccuped once and it reminded me of stories about "telling yourself your not a fish" so at the second hiccup I told myself, "I am not a fish"

Boom, nothing at all. I was mad. Why. God damn why. I am almost now pissed I am not hiccupping this make no sense.

But maybe, it was a random one in a hundred lucky moment where I told it to myself when it naturally stopped. And I awaited the next time .

End of the month of Juin. Going down the stairs from the cafeteria after eating with people,

I had one.

The second it happened I thought to myself how angry I was before and instantly told myself "I am not a fish". And nothing after... Oh boy I was fuming, there is no reason on earth that thinking I am a biped, a homo sapiens sapiens. How can my brain forget that I sapiens the sapiens and goes back to fish mode. You have the capacity if you'd wish to, to build rockets, but you forget your a human and find a bribe of fish DNA in me somewhere, wow

So I continued for the next two month. And after 3 month of evaluation, I have come to the conclusion that for me, this indeed works, but have not accepted the fact this sh.itjust.works .

Thank you for hearing this, and I can only invite you to try it, I personally almost missed the funny feeling of hiccups today doing it almost automatically

I am part of the people who have the small voice in your head that you control most of the time, and which basically tells everything you think. This invented voice of my brain is the one that said "I am not a fish"

What's mildly infuriating to me is that not everyone has that little voice.

And honestly that fact scares the shit out of me

Yeah, no kidding this was my family's discussion at New Year's Eve. And my Aunt could not understand what we meant. We gave her a book and everything and told her "Are you reading the book, or is the voice in your head reading the book to you?" To what she responded, "There is no voice here reading anything, I don't understand anything you are telling me"

Which, I cannot simply perceive how it works for her, does information simply enter like the kid absorbing knowledge?

I've got another fact that is a bit different When you imagine a Bar in your mind, you always imagine the same one.

Sometimes I have an inner voice, sometimes I don't.

My theory is that I view words as shapes, and then I piece them together to form information.
