Why when you are not thinking about it you do not notice yourself blinking but when you do think about it...?

Question

you do notice yourself blinking

Answer 1

i have no idea why that happenes, its the same with breathing

Answer 2

Blinking is something that our bodies do involuntary like breathing, and digesting food. Since it doesn't require conscious thought we don't focus on it. However we can bring attention to it (like breathing we can control our blinking should we want to) and when we do that's we notice it more.

Answer 3

Same thing just happened to me too! I'll catch it next time around! Opps missed again!

Answer 5

Answer 6

It's just a natural instinct your body does for survival...like breathing.
