The Psychology of Liminal Spaces

Why do empty malls feel unsettling? Why does an abandoned hallway at night feel strangely familiar? Why do places meant to be full of people suddenly feel “wrong” when they’re empty? In this video, I explore liminality — the strange feeling of being caught between places, moments, and realities.

So what is it about these places that affects us so deeply? Let’s explore the psychology, atmosphere, and internet obsession behind liminal spaces. #liminalspace #liminality
