Ayer estaba con mi perrita en el GAM y la loca se puso a oler una wea en el suelo mientras yo veía el teléfono. En esa pasa un flaite con una maleta y me dice "permiso compare", yo vi el espacio, veo que mi perrita sigue "ocupada" y no la quiero tironear.

Veo que el wn pasa perfectamente y le digo

"pase no más"

"pero mira po si vengo con la media maleta"

"pero pasa no más si cabes, camina por ahi"

y ahí al loco le cambia la cara y me dice "COMO Q CAMINA SHUSHETUMARE, ERI ASI DE ALZAO EN TU CASA?"

"te dije camina x ahí Broder no te he faltado el respeto"

Acá se me acerca y se me pone en el hocico, yo me quedé quieto mirándolo mientras me decía

"Ten cuidado wn nunca sabi si te puede tocar un wn Loko y erai, no andi hablando así" mientras se crujía los dedos y le tiraba el ojo

​

Es cuático pq no sé si realmente estoy tan desconectado pero en ningún momento sentí realmente que me fuera a pegar, el que de verdad es violento no amenaza tantas veces.

​

Yo admito que andaba un poco burlesco y no medi mi lenguaje, a la segunda que se estaba yendo me dice "no porque ande haraposo me tienes que faltar el respeto" y yo

"Compa no me importa quien seas, millonario o pobre yo no te hablé mal" y ahí el ctm volvió "COMO Q NO TE IMPORTA QUIEN SOY YO"

ahí le dije "ya Hno déjame piola si ninguno de los dos quiere pelear"

Y me fui, lo último que escuché fue "ahí es donde te equivocas" pero yo ya estaba metros más allá, claramente el wn no quería pelear de vd o me hubiera pegado a la segunda que se acercó pero que paja tener que lidiar con estos personajes en Santiago centro. Tiene toda la razón pq a lo mejor este era puro blabla pero en una de esas no sabes y te sacan un cuchillo y fuiste.

Lo que me parece cuático es q creo que yo le podría haber sacado la chucha más que él a mi y el lo supo cuando no me asusté con sus amenazas pero pq andan tan alzaos ellos? Supongo que es un fenómeno de la sociedad, quizás se sienten constantemente inferiores y es su forma de tener algo de poder en la vida

I know this is long but I promise is worth the read

I’ve been experiencing something strange that feels way deeper than just “good posture” or being in shape, and I’m trying to understand what’s actually happening physiologically/neuro-mechanically. I don't even know how to flare it

For context, I’ve had a lot of asymmetries and movement issues over the last couple of years after injuries:

* weird gait

* ribcage tightness/asymmetry

* limited torso rotation on one side

* chronic tension patterns

* restlessness

* aches in areas that used to feel strong

* recently ED

At the same time, my emotional state changed a lot over those years too. Some difficult life events happened (breakup, grandparents passing away, etc.), but what always felt weird is that my emotional/behavioral change felt disproportionately physical.

I became much shyer and more hesitant socially, but it never felt psychologically “true” to my personality. I’m naturally expressive, loud, curious, the kind of person who asks questions publicly, talks to teachers after class, jokes around, speaks up to assholes/bad service, etc. All my college friends say I'm just shy, my high school friends know I'm a freak joker.

Over time, though, my body started reacting as if everything was threatening:

* breath becoming heavy while speaking

* voice either weak or overly loud/nervous

* heart racing during casual interactions

* random spasms/clumsiness at terrible moments

* movement hesitation in sports

* overthinking simple actions

It genuinely felt like my body stopped trusting movement and expression, as well as I stopped trusting my intelligence and worth.

People usually say I look younger or have younger vibes, or look short despite being average for my country

After seeing multiple doctors and mostly hearing “you’re fine,” “asymmetries are normal,” or “you’re just anxious,” one even blamed my aches in immaturity (relates to short/kid vibes?)

I eventually saw a chiropractor who pointed out that my diaphragm/ribcage mechanics were extremely asymmetrical (one-sided rib flare, limited expansion, etc.). I always felt one side was bigger even in muscle development, my gf agreed after inspecting me, doctors couldn't point it out.

Years ago the Wim Hof method had already given me temporary relief, so I started experimenting more seriously with:

* breathing into restricted areas

* relaxing tension while moving

* gait retraining

* breathing-focused lifting

* hollow body/core integration

* relaxing compensations during walking/training

* focusing on smoother force transfer instead of brute force

What’s weird is that whenever I successfully “lock into” this integrated state, the effects go WAY beyond biomechanics.

Suddenly I:

* feel grounded/confident socially

* project my voice naturally without strain

* feel emotionally stable

* feel more “adult” somehow

* feel more attractive despite no major physique change

* move with less hesitation

* stop mentally overprocessing everything

* breathe easier

* recover my gutturals/fry register while singing

* stop feeling my heart race during casual social interactions

The best description I have is:

my body suddenly feels mechanically trustworthy and stronger.

Examples:

* after certain training sessions (especially lats + hollow body/core-focused work, historically weak areas for me), posture stops feeling artificially held and becomes naturally comfortable

* gait corrects itself more automatically

* stairs suddenly feel elastic/light instead of effortful

* I can sprint upstairs without fatigue and almost feel “suspended”

* movement feels coherent instead of fragmented

* mental noise decreases dramatically

* Reps in every exercise go up dramatically and pain only in the muscles, not joints, fatigue can be cleared by proper exhales.

The interesting part is this DOESN’T happen after every workout. It seems specifically linked to sessions where my kinetic chains coordinate properly and my asymmetries calm down.

This state also comes much easier when:

* I’m well rested

* well fed

* on methylphenidate (especially for sports performance/focus)

* Automatic during psilocybin experiences

Psilocybin and MDMA in particular gave me some of the first experiences where my body felt “commandable” again — like the intent and the execution stopped fighting each other.

For example:

“I know the words and ideas, I just need the voice.”

“I know the mechanics of the jump, I have the strength, I just need the command to actually transmit cleanly through the body.”

So now I’m wondering how much of this is connected to:

* vagal tone/autonomic regulation?

* chronic protective tension?

* proprioception/vestibular input?

* diaphragm mechanics?

* fascia/tensegrity?

* improved ground reaction force transfer?

* reduction of internal “threat” signals from movement instability?

* some combination of all of these?

I know there’s a lot of pseudoscience around posture/alignment spaces, so I’m trying to approach this carefully. But the subjective changes feel too consistent and too physical to ignore. This functional patterns guy on IG claims fixing movement helps anxiety, raises testosterone, and makes you stronger.

Lately I'm just addicted to brute forcing calmness by lying down and trying to relax where my breath feels stuck, contract the opposite side of what feels tight and then trying to keep that muscle tone without struggling, then breathing in, this consistently makes my ribcage and back crack a lot

Has anyone else experienced this kind of “full-system grounding” from improving movement quality/alignment?

Am I just undiagnosed Neuro divergent and my body started paying the bill a few years ago??

I'm going to therapy now so I will find out soon but this state feels more powerful than normal, like embodying that "you have so much potential" I knew was there but couldn't completely access, am I just growing up? Idk, feels different. I'm 26[M] by the long way

TL;DR: After years of injuries, asymmetries, breathing dysfunction, weird gait, tension, and even social anxiety/ED, I noticed that when I improve my movement integration (breathing, ribcage/pelvis alignment, gait, core/lat coordination, relaxing compensations), my entire nervous system changes. Voice projects naturally, anxiety drops, movement feels light/springy, personality becomes more expressive again, and my body feels “mechanically trustworthy.” state comes with drugs as well

Curious whether this is related to autonomic regulation, proprioception, diaphragm mechanics, fascia, reduced protective tension, or some combination of all of them.

Mis primeros recuerdos del metro fueron por ahí por el 2013 cuando yo un simple rancaguino venía a Santiago y me tocaba ver la brutalidad de una masa de gente gigante, que se empujaba para entrar y peleaba por salir, que si estaba muy lleno veía guardias compactando a la masa para cerrar las puertas.

Me acuerdo que entre esa época y el 2020 se puso de moda como entraban al metro en Japón con dos filas por los lados y decíamos "mira como son allá, acá con todos estos simios nunca podremos hacer eso"

Me vine a vivir el 2020 y claro no había metro, después cuando si había me fijé que nunca fue tan terrible mi experiencia, la gente hacia la filita por los lados y en hora punta ibas lleno lleno pero nunca aplastado, yo como provinciano aprendí a penqueadas que hay que sacarse la mochila, el resto es costumbre

No sé si es por Boric, pero con Boric empezaron a haber muchos muchos más casos de detenciones entre estaciones, hubo un par de chispazos y weas que antes no pasaban (creo)

Pero este año wn, siempre lleno, volviendo a estar compactado y ahora me encuentro con weones que no hacen fila y empujan pa entrar, muchos más weones que entran y se quedan parados en la puerta, weones estirando los brazos para hacerse espacio pa ellos, weones q no avanzan a los pasillos.

El otro día un viejo venia a un metro del poste con el brazo estirado, le pedí que se acercara pq estaba estaba usando espacio de dos personas con el metro y me dice q no puede, cuando se bajó gente de atrás mio casi le rompo el brazo pq el aweonao lo ponía firme mientras me empujaban y me echa la culpa a mi XD

Yo sé que weas así siempre han pasado pero me da la sensación que ahora es una masa mayor de gente que no sabe usar el metro

Mi teoría esq muchos wnes cómodos con su auto se vieron obligados a usar el metro y no saben q las cosas se comparten
