Please don’t do unserious answers, or at least add a disclaimer before it and make sure the question has been answered seriously prior to that.

My question:

Is it normal using cutlery always hurts? Every single time I use knife, fork of spoon for anything else but scooping something soft, it hurts. It’s been like this my entire life. Are people really in pain every time they eat without anyone speaking of it???

Wrt feeling pain, where is the pain? Is it in your hand holding the utensil, or in your head, or all over? I don’t think it is extremely commonplace to feel pain when putting a spoon into something soft, but various sensory experiences, even pretty benign ones can be overwhelming. You might have a sensual aversion to it, or there might be a trauma that crops up related somehow to the experience. If you experience neurons diversity, we can have any number of acute reactions to sensory inputs. I definitely feel a physical sensation like pain brought about by acute anxiety, and I’ve heard others do as well.

Okay, I think in 2022, I burnt my throat with vinegar because I forgot to dilute it… I was trying to gargle it to get rid of sore throat

1 year later, and I find myself quite on a hair-trigger to acid reflux when I eat acidic and salty foods…

Does anyone have a solution?

Is it normal to crack your finger ligaments and back and neck often? I do it several times a day, hell sometimes a few times an hour just because I like hearing the little cracks. Does anyone else do that? It’s like a nervous tick but I do it even when not nervous. It doesn’t make me feel bad or anything, like my fingers are totally fine, but is it uncommon?

I used to do it more, but I frequently crack my back and fingers. Mostly out of habit honestly.

I do it too. It feels good, though I don’t know if this is because I’m usually stretching when I do it. I’m always worried that someday I’ll accidentally twist too far and permanently injure myself, but to be honest I’ve never actually hurt myself doing it so it’s probably okay.

I hundred percent get what you mean about overstretching and bending something but I typically (i hope) use the same amount of low force just enough for the crack sound, then I stop. I really really hope that doesn’t go wrong one day, that would really suck

I’ve been doing it my entire life, starting in my teens up until now in my near middle age.

The only disadvantage I’ve ever heard is plausible, is maybe some weakening of the joints, but that’s about it. It doesn’t seem to cause arthritis or any other issues, At least that there is evidence for. I think I heard that about 10 years ago. So hopefully that information is not out of date.

Are mutated earworms normal? Like you hear a song in your head but it significantly differs from the real song. I’m not talking about misheard lyrics – it’s like at one point I forgot all of the song but a fragment and my brain inartfully filled in the missing parts and then hit save on the resulting mess, which became part of the permanent collection and can’t be excised by hearing the original song.

I often think of a song far too frequently and end up distorting it sort of for fun. For example, I’ll reword boyz n the hood.

My question is: does anyone else almost perpetually have a random song stuck in their head, like a radio but often repeating lyrics.
