00:40vibration same thing happened to me last week I almost dropped everything just to check a blank
00:46screen it feels so real that I end up checking two three times is my brain fooling me yes our brain
00:54expects notifications so it misfire signals like a false alarm it's linked to anxiety and habit since
01:02we check our phones hundreds of times the brain creates imaginary buzzes so basically my nervous
01:08system is addicted to whatsapp pings exactly one study showed over 80% of smartphone users feel
01:16phantom vibrations amazing I thought only I was going crazy but actually the whole world is buzzing for
01:23nothing now let's talk about awkward silences in phone calls ever had that oh yes last month I was
01:31talking to my cousin suddenly both of us went quiet neither knew what to say felt like an eternity
01:37same here once I was on an office call and suddenly silence I didn't know whether to hang up or start
01:44random talk worst part is you start overthinking did I say something wrong is the other person bored
01:52actually it's psychological our brain hates silence in conversations especially on phone where we can't
01:59see expressions that makes sense because in person silence feels okay but on phone it feels like failure

02:23uncle turned the whole sofa upside down for it aha same with me once I found the remote in the fridge
02:30don't ask how it went there oh my god that's next level at my house it usually hides under the
02:37newspaper or under cushions remotes are like magical creatures they hide when you need them most actually
02:44it's called inattentional blindness we look everywhere except the obvious spots true our brain searches where it
02:53expects not where it really is that's why we often find it in silly places so scientifically the remote isn't playing
03:00hide-and-seek we are exactly best trick always assign a fixed spot but honestly even then it will wander viewers did you
