Invisible influences
This is also why I’m starting to think convincing anyone of anything is generally Very Hard — and when you manage to do so you should treat it as an amazing stroke of luck, rather than something to be (ideally) expected.
when I'm navigating, I literally see a lil HUD minimap in my mind, which I can rotate, zoom, & pan around, w/ some areas clearer than others. never thought this was notable until I found out many people don't have one, usually the women I'd ask.
If you have a minimap — and assume everybody else has a minimap — good fucking luck trying to understand how somebody can be “bad with directions”.
If you don’t have a minimap… well, I never knew about the minimap and I literally assumed for all my life that I was just not putting the effort to learn my surroundings and it was a sort of a moral failure on my part (being lazy / something).
For me, it usually takes 1–2 hours. I have no idea how to actually fall asleep — I know it eventually happens, but every single time it’s just “lie down and try not to think about all the things you’d rather be doing instead”. (Unless I’m drunk, but drinking myself to sleep every day is not a good idea.)
