I don’t remember if it was always was like, this but this happened to me with two different microwaves in two different houses. It mostly happens when touch the top of the microwave, but it can happen with the door too.

I though that it was just something unavoidable with microwaves and didn’t mention it to anyone, but today i decided to tell my mom and, she said never had any microwave electrocute, same goes for my sisters.

My little sister did comment that i have high energy(what they call my ADHD) as the probable causes. I don’t really that possible but i have discovered weird things about my biology before(e.g if i leave my computer screen on in my room, i can feel its heat even under the blanket and cant sleep).

Update: I still do not know why i get shocked while my doesn’t. I told my sister to touch the mirror door and she didn’t feel anything, then i put my hand next to hers and we both get shocked. I have a theory that’s its cuz i am very hairy? Either way, i am told there are lot of possible causes

    The environment matters more than what it is.

    My old office space everyone would get shocked from the metal cubicules with fabric sound dampeners. Like, enough that you saw a blue flash even with bright office lighting. It could be how you sleep, I stayed at an Airbnb and pulling the blanket apart from the sheet set off a bunch of blue sparks consistently.

    Even if someone touches the same microwave and it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t rule out the environment.

    It is 100% not in anyway related to if you have ADHD. Or whatever the fuck “high energy” is supposed to mean.

    All the weird shit you think is happening, is just normal human psychology.

    Our brains need reasons for things, but really doesn’t care what reason or if it makes any sense.

    This is the entire reason religion inevitably shows up. Or “cargo cults” after WW2.

    Our subconscious is doing a lot more of the heavy lifting then we assume, our conscious mind just rationalizes shit. Rather that where ever you’re getting the “high energy” stuff, look into real psychology studies. There’s some really cool shit out there, and it’s actually real.

    Literally, right now there is an entire nother “you” in your own head, it just can’t communicate verbally.

    Most likely that “you” wanted you to turn the fucking light off so you both could sleep better. It can’t verbalize that thought, even internally. But it can make the side of your body it controls feel warm and get “your” attention that way.

    I know that’s a long rant, but there’s plenty of weird shit out there already, we don’t need to invent new imaginary weird shit
