22 Irrational Everyday Occurrences That Everyone Experiences
Congratulations, your brain is broken.
There are a few known certainties in the universe: the speed of light, the existence of matter and the fact that as soon as you hear the creak a floorboard in an empty house, you know that you're going to die. Your brain is basically your enemy. Being a human comes with a lot of silly emotions to contend with but it really is testament to the spirit of humanity that you can still live your life to the fullest, despite every irrational and ridiculous thing that your brain cooks up. How will you survive the zombie apocalypse? Could you be a have-a-go hero? What if this really is all one big Truman Show? Irrational thought is as much a part of thinking as cognitive, logical behaviour. That's just how the brain works. Or doesn't, more appropriately. Although not all of the examples on this list are scary or major, but it's guaranteed that you have definitely done or thought all of them at some point during your day. They are ridiculous, but they also make a lot of sense when you're in the moment. And what's worse is that you probably know that you're doing them too...
