Can you wear out certain parts of your brain?

[magnetaress]

I find it v hard to type concisely and correctly these days and when I speed type it looks like some kind of aphasia sometimes (non verbal but typing based instead).

Sometimes I'm paranoid and thinking that the application/form/web/msg/keyboard software is changing the letters or words in my text automatically without me knowing, butt (AND) at random not because it never seems to autocorrect some butt some fully form words are also wrongs??! or did I just type ten like in.

It's irritating to say none the less and It also happens more when I am pushing the boundaries of fatigue. or in a looot of pain

maybe just gettin' old?

I'd assume most of us are in our late 30's-40's... I feel like it's prime time for us all to be experiencing some age related shenanigans.. But that doesn't stop me from being the dopest skater at the local skatepark still...

I remember my grandma relating a story where she woke up one morning with a blinding headache, and she remembers laying there in bed thinking “Lord, are you taking me now?”

But then the headache was completely gone. So she started her morning routine of breakfast and the newspaper. But she said she couldn’t read the news paper

So I asked her “you mean you couldn’t see the words?”

Her reply was chilling, she said “no I could see them, I just didn’t understand any of them”

Anyway turns out she had a mini-stroke but after getting checked by a doctor things returned to normal and she had been fine since

I think the real question here from OPs title is: are we wearing our brains or are we actually our brains and we're wearing the skin suit?

Your brain doesn't really wear from use... really more the opposite, frequent use will keep it from wearing. That being said, stress, long term insomnia, blunt or chemical injury, chronic pain, loneliness, or genetic fuckery can harm your brain, especially as you get older and these forces have time to work. Long term chronic pain has impacts on cognition but I don't think we know whether it impacts it directly or acts through some other variable.

Exercise helps address all these things, even if you're just walking. Can seem insurmountable to get active when you're feeling like garbage, I know, but the evidence is clear on this... long term, it helps. Or maybe you just need more elf sim I dunno I'm not a doctor

I think autocorrect does 'learn' wrong spellings if you apply a certain setting or error a word repeatably.

Actually been doing a fair bit of physical activity.

You guys are right. I'm probably just experiencing age related fatigue. Probably more so that I am more cogent and active than I have been in a while.

P.s. happens when I'm jammin on the ol'pc keyboard. So it's definitely not just a cell phone thing.
