Paradolia


Everything around me shouts out to me saying here.  I see black cats in every shadow.  I hear my cellphone ding twenty times a day that it did not ding.  I hear my ringtone when it does not ring.  It vibrates when it is not vibrating.  Every creak in the house is a footstep. Every twitch in my vision turns into something that is not there.  I hear my name all day long.  

Technically this is a very successful evolutionary trait.  Means that I am always jumping at shadows and in the past it meant I was jumping and ready for when that shadow was actually a tiger or something and I was more likely to survive than someone who never jumped.  

Today though I am super skeptical I doubt everything I see, all the cats I see I know they are shadows, except for the ones that are cats.  I do see a lot more cats.  And it is odd that I check my cellphone a lot just after I got a message.  On the whole I would rather not, I am very distracted all the time.
