:thinking: Not sure if I'm fully understanding the question...

If I think of a body part, I may become slightly more aware of general sensations occurring in that region, but the thought of the part itself doesn't seem to elicit any new physical response/feeling, if that makes sense.

I don't know I've just come to the conclusion that nothing matters and we're all just painting

Painting as in the verb, to paint? Or did you mean paintings? Like Vigo The Carpathian in Ghostbusters 2, or the little girl trapped in the painting in The Witches?

If it's the Vigo thing, I guess I'm game... :shrug:

like we're apart of a painting and we move through it and it's in a gallery with other paintings (universes)

That sounds very Doctor Whovian. I can dig it.

That sounds like an incredibly unique way to process things. I guess the closest I can get is feeling different head states when thinking or analyzing particular things (ie. the traditional foggy headedness or dazed feeling when analyzing a lot or maybe a headache if what I'm analyzing makes me upset or whatever?) but outside of that that sounds somewhat foreign to me...

I often make myself quite ill if I’m thinking about something which makes me angry or frustrating...but I don’t think that’s the same.

That is a really interesting phenomenon you have. I don't have anything like that, but I do have a kind of physical empathy when I see pain, all the nerves in my core and stomach area become hypersensitive and it hurts a little too. It feels a little like a burning sensation without heat.

yeah i think that would happen to anyone, but maybe not. I thought my thing was common

I get that as well but it's when i see emotional pain
