Exam Results Countdown

Metaphorical Narrative

Log in.
Nothing.
Log in again. Still nothing.
Mind insists: check again, maybe now.
Energy drains into a cycle that cannot change the outcome.

Core Insight

Everyone has lived this: waiting for results becomes compulsion.

Proof Snapshot: Studies on uncertainty show compulsive checking increases anxiety, even when the outcome is fixed.

Liberation comes by starving the portal. Results arrive on their own timeline; presence must remain here.

Identity Line: I refuse to worship portals. Observer stays with life, not countdowns.

Saturday Experiment

Choose one uncertain outcome.
Set a fixed check time once per day. Ignore the rest.

Sunday Reflection

Where else this week did they compulsively check?
What shifted when they imposed one rule?
What identity grows when presence is not surrendered to portals?
