Goosebumps.

https://news.northeastern.edu/2018/07/30/the-curious-case-of-the-people-who-can-control-their-goosebumps/

I thought everyone can do this but apparently not. I have been able to do this easily my whole life and even have it happen when I don't want it, listening to something corny I disagree with and I have to control it not happening. I can will it easily just doing nothing, repeatedly with just a few seconds to recharge.

My mother can't and she's also a super bitch. (sorry mother, love ya but you are). She's unable to feel music or anything uplifting. She's also a hardcore liberal. So, I'm wondering if there's a correlation but seeing most of the population can't do it, maybe there's not. Idk, can you do it?

Are you flexing your ear drums? Can do that but not pop the pressure. Need to plug my nose and blow.

I believe so. I'm not really sure what I'm doing

I have to shift my jaw forward slightly and flex near my ear (drums?). Don't have to hold my nose

Damn dude that's fucking useful. I just yawn over and over like a fuckin idiot and my ears still hurt after.

Y'know what's useful? Trying figure out why and determining if the cerebellum is producing a hormone which could be synthesized and used in medical advancements for treating stupid people who are unable the empathize. Or understanding perhaps what makes assholes. That's ok, some people are candles and others are spotlights. Enjoy your wick while it lasts.
