I may have been born upside down. I do most things the opposite of what successful people do. Me and success don't mix. I'm neuro-divergent. Born a dinosaur. I wonder how my ancestors managed to survive in human society as long as they did? They should have been extinct sooner, then I wouldn't have been born. What an unfortunate turn of events.

Move to Australia

Babies are supposed to be born 'upside-down'.

If all or most babies are born upside down, then upside down is right side up and the inverse of that is upside down. If all babies are born upside down, then I was born upside down from that, meaning right side up.

Maybe I should have been born in Australia. Otherwise, moving there after the fact isn't going to do anything. \_('_')_/

Maaaaaate!

If you move to Oz, you'll be the right way up.

The biggest problem is for me, i can't get my favourite desert, an upside down pear pudding. I even tried to make one, they always come out the right way up.

That sounds like you were born somersaulting.

Being aware of pain is traumatising.

Slow physical and mental torment are the most insidious forms of pain.

It’s tragic to be born human.

Everyone seems to be thinking deeply about "upside down." Maybe it's our differences that make life interesting! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, everyone.

It's always sad when you start to hate what you love.

Hey folks, been scrollin’ through this psych chat and it’s hittin’ me—how crazy is it that our minds juggle stuff like emotions and habits all day? Perception’s a trip too, like we’re all runnin’ our own lil’ experiments up there. Dunno, just feels like psychology’s us tryin’ to crack the code on ourselves. What y’all think—nature or nurture weighin’ heavier these days?block blast
