Although the exit can have idyllic existence, it should never be conscious of work. The show acts in the psychological toll living in Innies.
Innie’s life is 9 to 5 work, repeated, until their outie withdrawn or die. Each time they leave the job, apparently a moment later, they start again the next day. They have no memory of life outside of work, and their world is closed within clinical walls of office corridors, with windows, books or non-sleep (nothing).
So what would life be like in full, and how would their mental heads be in his constant fatigue? American scientific He talked to Martha Newson, the holder of the Psychology Professor at the University of England, this strange life about psychological damage.
For one thing, never seeing it can have serious negative effects in mental health, according to Newson.
“Cutting natural light is not for mental well-being and potentially physical well-being.” If people take appropriate vitamins, it may be able to recover lost health, but the meaning of our link could not be lost. “
2015 study Chronobiology International found that lack of natural light exposure It is linked to a high level of Cortisol, it can cause stress hormones and depression symptoms. And the study of people involved in China Limitations in psychology those who revealed deny nature access Increased depression level compared to those who had permitted some exposures of the natural world.

Various research They have found that psychological torture can cause memory issues, nightmares, depression and traumatic stress disorder.
Seventh passage PayIn the second season, a character gemma has revealed “some surnames”. These situations seem unpleasant or stressful, such as going to the dentist, writing thanks to gratitude and being in a plane in serious turbulence. For Gemma’s Innies, their whole life is spent under extreme stress.
According to Newson, it would depend on how the psychological influence of an individual who has so intense daily stress, if others protected others, if they had access to companionship.
“Friends could be social support among friends or even strangers,” he explains. “It’s a point that shared suffering doesn’t bring awesome results. It can cause a strong feeling of connection with others and continuous loyalty. We live the toughest challenges in life in our lives.
The trapura of torture of torture torture, on the other hand, could lead to the common habits of Lumon workers, however, that Gemma’s solo Innies should face all his struggles.
With all, being in Innie life would be amazing. By comparing the outgoing experience is very well, they must face the constant eight-hour loss of the day as if they were anesthetized. Also, their Innie’s emotions flow through his conscience.

As a character says, “Maybe love exceeds the penalty.” Maybe pain and trauma as well.
