Big box stores, Walmart etc. After 10 minutes I feel like I’m getting the flu. Weak. Headache. Fuzzy. I hear it from other people too. They attribute it to the lights, security system, plastic fumes…

We used to joke that they have a giant soul-sucking machine in the basement.

    I’m impressed. Most people would hesitate to diagnose a stranger’s experience from a dozen words.

      I can diagnose you with poor reading comprehension. Do you know what a simile is? You said “I experience XYZ …” and the commenter replied with “Sounds like ABC …” and then asked a bunch of clarifying questions. They didn’t diagnose you.

      Now, I’ll allow you might have lumped this reply in with the others who did say you have some kind of anxiety, so fair enough. But consider the other people who replied with variations of “I experience the same thing and it’s due to my anxiety.” Are you unwilling to consider the possibility?

      Dude. You gotta calm down. No one is diagnosing you with anything. You asked a question, and we’re all answering it. No need to be a dick. We’re all mates here.
