Wonderful timing! I just started reading The Word Hord: Daily Life in Old English and this comes up at the start of chapter 3. In Old English it’s called “morgen-colla”, which translates to modern english as “morning dread” or “morning rage”.
Granted it’s in the wee hours of the morning, not as you’re trying to fall asleep, but it still demonstrates how humans are gonna human.
To “-_- urgh” is human.
This is 100% a thing that happened. I bet it happened back to pre-civilization as a result of our socialization and might be evolutionary
I wish being awkward was genetic, because then awkward people would have been unable to get mates and therefore been bred out of the gene pool thousands of years ago and I wouldn’t have to exist just to lay awake at night alone and unloved remembering all my cringiest social moments
Oh boy… You should look into the hereditability of neurodivergence

I wonder if the other cavemen gave shit to the one that drew human animal hybrid figures on the cave wall for being a furry.
