Seeing my nose

[ankietyjoe]

If you look in a mirror, you'll probably discover that your nose is right in between your eyes. And sticks out.

Yeah i understand everyone sees there nose, but for my whole life it never obstructed my vision, I see it in the bottom corners of my eyes when I’m looking straight ahead. Then one day out of no where it’s in my line of vision. It wasn’t as if I was ever trying to look at my nose.

I think you are hyper-focusing on it so see it now and nothing more.

I think you just noticed your nose and can't un-notice it for some reason

Exactly as everyone has said, you’re not filtering it out because even when ‘distracted’ we’re still often in a hyper aware state. Seeing your nose really isn’t something to be worried about, like I said I see mine a lot of the time too. Particularly every time I read this thread title too!

The brain doesn’t actually make it so you can’t see it, ever. Just that it’s only paying attention to the things your focused on making you unaware of it, just like it pieces together information when we blink so it doesn’t feel like we’re ‘missing frames’ hence why at the moment because your still seeing it, it’s just one of those things. The way our senses work is actually quite interesting, like trying to read and listen to someone speak at the same time leads to a jumbled mess in which you’re not getting all of either task, the brain prioritises depending on what we’re thinking and doing.

You’re worried about seeing your nose which means consciously or not you’re thinking about your nose, the end effect of that is that you’re aware of seeing it! Simple as.
