Listen to your body is the worst possible advice for people like me with hyper awareness anxiety issues and hyochondria going on.
It has nothing to do with this post, I just personally hate the phrase because it just reinforces my brain telling me i'm going to die because i leaned on my arm wrong and I don't usually get a chance to rant about it in such a low stakes convo
i've been in such chambers and didn't notice hearing any body functions, but it still feels completely off because you get no echos. like, none. in any normal room, you have sound reflections from the walls around you, these things completely eleminate that and it feels as if you're in a spaceless void, it's unsettling af.
Apparently that's the problem. It's so silent that everything happening in your body becomes distinctly audible. Blood, everything happening in your bowels, every muscle twitch. And people can't stand it after a while.

There's a special no-sound chamber where if you sit in there it's so quiet you start hearing every single body function and people freak out.
it's like that all the time for me
edit: i might be really good at that chamber because of it though. what do i get if i conquer the chamber
:wizard: secrets

Not if you have tinnitus :big-cool:
But also, imagine going in there when feeling overstimulated. Instant relief
