Your brain is lying to you.
Ever noticed how that spider in the corner seems to grow the moment you spot it?
It’s not your imagination. It’s the 81% Illusion.
Research shows that people with arachnophobia literally perceive spiders as bigger than they actually are. The higher the fear, the bigger the distortion: sometimes by as much as 81%.
Your amygdala has hijacked your vision. 🧠💥
It’s a survival mechanism gone wrong. Your brain thinks it’s protecting you by making the "threat" look massive, forcing you to pay attention.
