When not thinking about it, do you notice your blinking?
I feel like it's one of those autonomic behaviors like breathing where it only really becomes noticeable when you think about it, but I'm not sure.
I believe your brain will just kind of edit them out, similar to how it edits out your nose or glasses.

Alone in the Dark has a blinking mechanic that made me really think about it.
The worst one for me is thinking about salivating and swallowing

Nah most people don't even notice we have a blind spot in each eye, our brains just ignore most of our sensory data.

5 0 ReplyIf I'm tired or had bad sleep the night before, blinking can make my whole view kinda wobble. So I notice it then without previously thinking about it. But otherwise no not really. I have to at least be thinking of it somewhat to notice it.
