What If the “Weird Shit” You’ve Been Experiencing Is Actually Real?
Let’s start with honesty, not spirituality.
What if the things you’ve been calling “weird”, the knowing you can’t explain, the sensations you were told to ignore, the awareness that doesn’t fit into neat logic... aren’t problems at all?
What if they’re real?
Not “real” as in something you need to dramatise, label, or turn into an identity overnight.
Real as in valid, human, and far more common than you were led to believe.
Because here’s the first truth I’m going to say clearly.
You don’t need fixing.
And if anyone has ever made you feel like you do, that’s conditioning, not truth.
Let’s Talk About Childhood Without Romanticising It
Most intuitive people didn’t grow up feeling special.
They grew up feeling out of place.
You noticed more than others.
You felt atmospheres shift.
You clocked emotional undercurrents long before you had words for them.
And instead of being supported in that awareness, you learned very quickly that it made you different.
So you adapted.
You became quieter.
More observant.
More self-contained.
Not because you were shy.
Not because you lacked confidence.
But because your system learned what it needed to do to stay safe.
Let’s be very clear here.
Those behaviours were not flaws.
They were intelligent responses to your environment.
And I do not believe in pathologising survival.
The “Too Much” Lie (And Why It’s Bullshit)
Here’s one of the most damaging narratives people internalise.
When you’re quiet, you’re acceptable.
When you speak up, you’re “too much”.
When you express yourself fully, you’re suddenly a problem.
So you start managing yourself.
Watching your tone.
Editing your truth.
Shrinking your presence just enough to stay palatable.
That’s not authenticity.
That’s self-abandonment dressed up as politeness.
And I’ll say this plainly.
You weren’t inconsistent.
You weren’t confusing.
You weren’t failing to “get it right”.
The rules were designed to keep you small.
When Life Starts Pulling the Rug Out
At some point, life stops tolerating the version of you that’s outgrown itself.
Jobs stop working.
Businesses collapse.
Relationships shift.
Structures that once felt secure suddenly feel suffocating.
And we’re taught to see this as failure.
I don’t.
I see it as course correction.
Because when you ignore your internal guidance long enough, life doesn’t punish you.
It redirects you.
Not gently.
Not quietly.
But effectively.
And no, I don’t believe this happens “to test you”.
That narrative is lazy and unhelpful.
It happens because pretending not to know what you know is exhausting.
Resistance Is Not Strength (That’s Another Lie)
We love to glorify pushing through.
Staying strong.
Holding it together.
Forcing things to work.
But here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear.
Resistance doesn’t make you resilient.
It just makes the message louder.
The nudge you ignore becomes discomfort.
The discomfort becomes disruption.
The disruption becomes unavoidable.
Not because you’re doing something wrong.
But because your system is asking for alignment.
And ignoring that always costs more than listening.
Perspective Changes Everything (And No, You Don’t Need to “Heal More”)
So many people think the path forward is blocked.
They look at the mess and decide it’s impossible.
They see the mud and assume it’s bottomless.
But that’s rarely true.
Most of the time, what’s missing isn’t effort.
It’s perspective.
When you shift how you’re looking at the situation, you often realise there was a way through all along.
Not because it was easy.
But because it was available.
And this is important.
You don’t need to dig endlessly into yourself to earn clarity.
You need to stop assuming you’re broken.
The Spiritual Closet Is Real (And It’s Heavy)
Let’s name this properly.
A lot of people are hiding parts of themselves to keep the peace.
They know what they sense.
They know what they experience.
But they’ve learned it’s safer not to say it out loud.
So they stay quiet.
They stay split.
They stay tired.
And eventually, that becomes unsustainable.
When people start being honest about who they are, relationships change.
Some deepen.
Some fall away.
This isn’t punishment.
It’s space being made.
You don’t lose people because you’re wrong.
You lose people because the version of you they related to no longer exists.
And that’s not something to fix.
That’s something to honour.
The “Weird Shit” Has Context (And No, It’s Not Random)
Let’s ground this.
Intuitive knowing.
Heightened sensitivity.
Strong inner guidance.
Clear sensing of people and environments.
These aren’t mystical trophies.
They’re human capacities that have been either supported or suppressed, depending on your environment.
When they’re unsupported, they feel overwhelming.
When they’re understood, they become stabilising.
That’s the difference.
And this is where I’m explicit about what I do not believe.
I do not believe intuition is reserved for the chosen few.
I do not believe you need to be fixed before you can trust yourself.
I do not believe suffering is a prerequisite for wisdom.
What I do believe is that awareness without language creates confusion.
And confusion doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It means something needs context.
Let’s End With Truth, Not Comfort
So here’s the real invitation.
What if your experiences aren’t evidence of something being wrong with you?
What if they’re evidence of awareness that never had a framework?
What if curiosity is more useful than self-doubt?
You don’t need to rush into answers.
You don’t need to label yourself.
You don’t need to perform spirituality.
But you do get to stop questioning your sanity.
Because the most radical thing you can do is not fix yourself.
It’s to stop abandoning yourself.
And that’s where real clarity begins.
