          I think that true for all pics, it’s a fairly cartoonish/exaggerated & simplified representation for normies to get it quicker & be more understanding/differently accommodating.

          As for floaters, those are the only pals that don’t leave me. They can’t, … but they dont, that’s the main point here.

      Ive not had eyefloaters as depicted in this image, but I did manage to get gaslit by people for a long time, telling me I was hallucinating, until I found out that entoptic blue field phenomenon is a thing.

      I was the only person in my friends/family circle who was autistic enough to notice and attempt to describe it.

        That kind of looks like visual snow, which I tried for years to get my eye doctors believe even existed. I know all too well that feeling of being gaslit by assembly line eye doctors just trying to churn out office visits as quickly as possible.

        Now I want to look at the sky, but it is covered by clouds today and I’ll probably forget when the sky is visible again

        Thank you for this. I notice that also sometimes. I thought I just had some mild neurological condition that might be related to high blood pressure.
