10 Disturbing Facts You Were Never Told🧵 1. Your brain can create false memories: You can vividly remember something that never actually happened. Memory is more like reconstruction than replay. 2. Most people have talked to themselves Not just a few words —full conversations. Psychologists consider it a normal part of thinking and problem-solving. 3. You can be awake and still not notice obvious things: A phenomenon called "inattentional blindness" can make you miss major events happening right in front of you. 4. Your personality isn't as fixed as you think: The way you act can change dramatically depending on your environment, stress levels, and the people around you. 5. Loneliness affects the body: Long-term loneliness has been linked to poorer physical and mental health outcomes. 6. Your eyes have a blind spot: There's a small area where your optic nerve leaves the retina, and your brain automatically fills in the missing information. 7. Your brain makes decisions before you're conscious of them: Some studies suggest brain activity related to a choice can occur before you become aware you've made it. 8. Sleep deprivation can seriously impair judgment: Going long periods without enough sleep can affect reaction time, memory, concentration, and decision-making. 9. Humans are surprisingly easy to influence: Advertising, peer pressure, authority figures, and social norms can affect choices more than most people realize. 10. Your body is constantly replacing itself: Many cells in your body are regularly dying and being replaced. You're physically not made of exactly the same cells you had years ago. The most disturbing fact? Your brain—the thing you trust to understand reality—is also capable of tricking you. Which we did you know before?
