Just stared into a lemurs eyes for half a minute aparently (that felt like an hour) and it freaked me tf out. Since been staring into peoples eyes or animals eyes and its consistently weird and freaky no matter what. Also it feels like my conciousness is behind my eyes and maybe thats why they say eyes are the window to the soul.

Noone may ask what I took or how much

Prosopagnosia (face blindness) is the disorder you are thinking of

I keep confusing it with pareidolia - seeing faces everywhere.

If you had both, would you see faces everywhere that you never recognize?

Yep and the ted chiang short story on that is brilliant.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
