I feel like it’s one of those autonomic behaviors like breathing where it only really becomes noticeable when you think about it, but I’m not sure.

    I believe your brain will just kind of edit them out, similar to how it edits out your nose or glasses.

      Anyone else 100% aware of their glasses at all times?

    Right. The same goes for clothes that you wear - you don’t really feel the fabric on your skin unless you really pay attention.

    Normally, no. Though if low on sleep and exhausted I can sometimes startle myself with a blink.

    Alone in the Dark has a blinking mechanic that made me really think about it.

    The worst one for me is thinking about salivating and swallowing

    If I’m tired or had bad sleep the night before, blinking can make my whole view kinda wobble. So I notice it then without previously thinking about it. But otherwise no not really. I have to at least be thinking of it somewhat to notice it.
