Whose shit do I need to eat to feel like a normal person?
So that's what rimming is all about; they have anxiety. TIL.
I think a lot of people don't realise how much of what makes "them" them is gut biome and your brain retrospectively assigning yourself agency for actions your body decided on (flinching from hot surfaces is one).
We just keep finding more ways that gut bacteria influence our diet and behaviour. And if you obey your gut flora and eat sugar instead of protein, you'll allow them to increase which expands their influence over you. Or that part of you, since where's the line?
Psychedelics can do more to the brain than the gut biome.
Not that extreme. But the brain has way more "wires" from than to the gut.
And the "you" changes with every new experience, so there's that.
Souls and people „don’t exist“. Because all that you and everyone thinks is you is just your brain taking inputs and making outputs by weighing all its available data. Gut is just another data source which influences your brains actions.
These researchers are bastards! Why didn't they transplant the gut microbiome from the mouse to the human instead, to cure the test patient's social anxiety?
n = 6 (or n = 12)
Very interesting. But at best a potential fact that needs to be replicated in a large cohort. Don’t assume it’s a proven fact just from this study.
So, I shit fear?
Interesting stuff.
As a side note, I feel like a lot of people tend to erroneously conflate mostly normal social anxiety (e.g. feeling anxious when meeting new people) with SAD, which tends to be diagnosed when the anxiety is actually severe/crippling. Kind of like how PTSD or OCD are thrown around super casually these days.
It's really weird but I seem to more easily get panic attacks if I haven't eaten yet that day. I wonder if this has something to do with it as well.
Well everyone, even "normies", accepts that "hangry" is a thing. So it really shouldn't be surprising that our eating habits are so directly related to our mood and state of mind.
Is this why I feel less anxious post shit
