Hey everyone. This will be my second poll in experiencer-related Reddit groups (the first had to do with Rh-negative blood). I'm a lifelong experiencer, and over the past couple of years I've become more and more involved in this field of research, especially throughout 2026. This poll in r/AskExperiencers is meant to better understand how others feel about openly discussing their experiences, and your participation would mean a lot. This is something I care deeply about, because one of the main reasons I chose to share my story with the world was to be a voice for those who feel they can’t talk about what they’ve seen. My answer is "I openly talk about my experiences without fear of judgment." Maybe my contact experiences, along with my understanding that this physical/material world is not my forever home, helped free me from fearing what might come from speaking openly about the otherworldly. Or maybe it's simply part of who I am. But I know that so many of us don't feel that way. There are countless people who have witnessed the unexplainable that feel they could never safely open up about it. My heart goes out to them. One of my purposes here is to help change how experiencers are perceived by the general public, to shed light on the reality of the phenomenon, and to help create a world where people no longer feel afraid to speak their truth. Sending love to you all. May we continue breaking the silence together. Here is the poll: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskExperiencers/s/55YYV02CVl submitted by /u/BornAwakened [link] [comments]
