86 People Who Woke Up And Apparently Chose Absolute Chaos

There are two kinds of people in this world. The ones who carefully consider what other people might think before they act and whose safe space has a beige undertone. And then there are the ones who skipped most chapters of the social anxiety handbook and have been living, completely unbothered, in a frequency the rest of us can only observe from a respectful distance.

The person who wears white after Labor Day. The coworker who cooks a Sunday roast at their desk. The stranger on public transport who sings for no reason. This isn't performative. They have just somehow opted out of the low-level hum of self-consciousness that the rest of us accepted as a permanent feature of being alive, and the effect is equal parts baffling and deeply enviable.

Sigmund Freud, who had strong opinions about absolutely everything, argued that children who are excessively controlled during potty training grow up to be rigid, uptight, compulsively neat adults who are, in his clinical terminology, psychologically constipated. The phrase "having a stick up your backside" is, in its own colourful way, a direct visualisation of this theory.

The idea is that unresolved psychological rigidity manifests as a kind of internal blockage that prevents joy, spontaneity, and basic human looseness from getting through. Freud was wrong about many things. On the specific relationship between rigidity and misery, the man had a point.

Life is genuinely short, the rules are largely made up, the people you're worried about judging you are too busy worrying about being judged themselves, and the version of you that just goes for it is almost certainly more fun to be around than the carefully edited alternative.

The people in this thread didn't opt out of self-consciousness because they're careless. They opted out because they figured out, at some point, that it wasn't actually compulsory, and never was. Someone just forgot to mention it.

Do you think life is more exciting with a little unhinged flavor? Tell us what your frequency is in the comments!
