Bad feeling - something woo?

[MuskIsACnt]

Does anyone else experience this something like this…

I sometimes get this bad feeling. It’s hard to explain, it’s similar to the feeling I’ve had if I’ve ever woken from a really really awful dream (like if accidentally killed someone I love). It’s like a darkness deep in my soul, pulling at some distant memory or trauma.

I get it randomly (a couple of times a year), but also when I see men who look similar to Dave Franco (random I know, it’s something in the facial features or expressions).

It’s a really awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. It feels so dark and primal.

I’m not really woo at all, but I’m also not an emotional/anxious person so why am I getting this feeling?

Yes I get this too. Can’t even describe why or what over but the feeling is just awful. I do suffer with anxiety so thought it may be some kind of old memory that I have suppressed that makes me anxious?

This is me hungover which is why I don't drink anymore 😂. I call it the death in the family feeling.

I actually think it's like a sort of homesickness feeling, missing home / comfort of a parent type thing.

it’s nothing like hangover depression/come down. Or anxiety I’ve felt over other normal things.

it’s more evil, like the presence of evil.

Could be a really early memory. Memories can be emotional flashbacks (like remembering a feeling rather than a picture/video). And emotions in childhood can feel big or ‘global’ (all consuming, like you don’t have any perspective on them - because as a child you haven’t yet developed the pre-frontal cortex = the ability to observe your reptilian brain). So flashbacks can have the same global and therefore scary quality.

Maybe you did something ‘wrong’ when you were very little that was matched with some emotions/facial expressions from your parents that something in David Franco’s face reminds you of?

Remember ‘wrong’ when you’re little = what your parents judge to be wrong, and their opinion matters a great deal when you’re tiny because you depend on them for physical survival. So the feeling of guilt (which I think is what you’re describing when you say, ‘like I’ve accidentally killed someone I love’) might have come from feeling like you’ve disappointed a parent? And the feeling of evil might be something that you’ve understood them to have judged? And it might be something really innocuous through adult eyes, like you spilled something or hit out at someone etc. Normal tiny person stuff.

Short answer - there’s a lot of really feasible explanations based on how human brains work.
