When you suddenly gain consciousness 

[gamingtoinfinity]

I just realized when you gain consciousness it's like the starting cutscene just ended and now you've gained control over your character

[SmartCreeper]

"So you're probably wondering why I'm here...me too"

Not just being born but literally realizing you came into existence is an unreal sensation you can't really describe in words.

I'm envious that y'all remember the moment in which y'all got counsciousness.

[ExUmbra]

That’s such a surreal moment in time. Woke up one morning, and you just have that feeling like you’re alive. Memory, self awareness & deep thought unlocked.

4 year old Greg after burning his hand on a birthday candle:
_"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me."_

[specterknight]

I was 4 when it happened, I had just woken up one morning and the moment i opened my eyes I felt it... THE UNIVERSE was singing to me, in that moment i gained consciousness

[thereallemon]

I gained my consciousness when I was talking to my cousin outside of his house outside, I completely zoned out from what he was saying back then .

[RASH-INDIE]

When i first gained FULL consiousness, i woke up one morning and said to myself "i wonder why no matter how i sleep, i wake up facing the same direction"

[Gooseman]

For me, it was walking to class in preschool, i didnt know where i was, i just knew i had to get to class. i didnt even question anything

This is called becoming self-aware. We all experience this at a young age when we realize the difference between our internal world and the external world.

[BeCowNow]

Its like being in a eternal void for years, then suddenly i woke up, knew what my language was, then started speaking and seeing the bright universe i never saw

[Luneytoon]

At 4 years old I was standing in the hall way and thought “I’m going to remember this moment for the rest of my life” and haven’t forgotten it

[Zulu]

The annoying thing is everything before you gain consciousness is so blank.

[aloah]

I didn't know this was a common thing to consciously experience in a distinct epiphany sort of moment, I feel like I just gradually transitioned into consciousness over the years

[daxxy]

The muffled music blasting in the other room completely sells it 😭😭😭🎊

[emeraldcreeper]

I specifically rember waking up and thinking "why am i thinking better?"

[gsainoy]

i remember looking out the window of a car, "huh those clouds look really nice"
and it just happened

[GloomTrap]

This just sent me down the longest rabbithole pertaining to individual's first conscious memories.

[michaelcarlton]

Two years old in the middle of daycare when it happened for me.

Just a massive amount of blurred memories and then a sudden stop as I began to actually truly exist. Of course, not everything gets put into your memory right away, so I had to relearn the name of the friend I had seen literally moments before.
