Nothing Is Wrong With You

Confusion, uncertainty, and mental overload are often treated as personal failures. They usually aren’t.

In cognitive science, it is well established that understanding depends on conditions: mental bandwidth, emotional load, time pressure, and environmental stability. When those conditions change, clarity often degrades — even in capable, experienced people.

That doesn’t mean something is broken. It means the system is under strain.

This site exists to explain why that happens, using established research and observable cognitive limits — without advice, motivation, or diagnosis.
