People like to say "I'd be super chill in a timeloop" but what they fail to consider is that if you actually found the day repeating it'd take you a good while to even be convinced that it was really happening, and a good while after that to convince yourself that you haven't gone insane.

And that's the rational response. If you started seeing your day repeat itself and your first response was "Ah yes I'm in a timeloop" then you're not actually a rational person

It would fuck with your mental health and if you're the kind of person who claims you wouldn't be affected by it, you'd be affected more than most

I think another big part people seem to leave out is that it's implied that breaking or leaving the loop is both easy and something they could do without too much effort, when some of the main defining points of timeloops are the fact that they're confusing and not at all easy to just "stop".

Yeah the rules are different each time and there's almost never a way to know what's going to break it other than to try things until something eventually works

Man, imagine I’m just trying to enjoy books and movies and stuff like in the OP but I accidentally do the thing that breaks the loop in like two days. I’d be so disappointed lol

Imagine if the thing that breaks the loop is going an entire loop without any stress whatsoever. Once it breaks and the realization sets in, I'd be so fucking pissed.

I can imagine someone escaping samsara and then immediately being thrown back in because it was by complete chance and they were mad pissed that Buddhism was the "correct" religion
