The best way to describe it would be to explain how it works. Basically, anywhere I go, or for that matter, anywhere I happen to be, whether it's a picture online, or an actual location, a specific "vibe" or "feeling" gets automatically associated with that area. The reason it is debilitating for me is that it makes it REALLY fucking hard to enjoy new places (or old, familiar places) if my mind decides that "Place A" is creepy, or if "Place B" feels "off." What's more, is that it also applies to media (movies, anime, games), my mind automatically assigns a "feeling" to these things as well, and more often than not, my judgement on them is heavily biased because of this issue.

This feeling is almost always negative, or just outright feels "off." BUT, on the off chance it's not, I end up REALLY enjoying wherever I am, or whatever I'm looking at. It's a very complicated issue, and the only thing I can say for certain is that certain lighting conditions can make or break a place for me. AND that it does not matter where I am, I ALWAYS get this feeling no matter what situation I am in.

I have had this issue ever since I was a kid (I am 24 now). I've got no idea what to even call it (and have a very hard time explaining it as you can see), but it feels like a mental illness with how debilitating it can be. And I almost always end up "mentally judging" something if it makes me "feel" right or not, which is bad.
