This reminds me… maybe muscle tension is a frequent solution to this problem?
Some context: Lately I’ve been wondering, Why do we often experience feelings as things in the body? For example, why do I feel anxiety in my chest rather than just “knowing” I’m anxious?
I suspect the feeling in my neck represented the information “I have the choice to leave the social situation I’m in right now” and/or “I am disliking/suppressing myself.”
Why might this feeling have manifested in my neck?
What if feelings use the body as a screen to communicate information with others? If you have a certain feeling in your chest, maybe others can see that.
BUT: What if a feeling represents information that your system doesn’t want other people to know? Hostile telepaths problem.
Im my case:
The feeling represented the awareness that I was insecure, and there were probably situations (probably social situations) in which it partially benefited me to be partially unaware of the fact that I was insecure.
Well, in that case, your system could create muscle tension to “jam the signal”…
If the muscles are stiff, maybe they can’t be used as a screen anymore.
