I know this may come as a shock to some people

but things look smaller when they are further away.

Holy shit

Can you explain why when I look away and then back the objects reappear? I try not to look away from things I care about in case they don’t come back.

I just don’t know how to know when things will reappear when I look again or not.

My husband has some dumb saying - objects behind you may feel larger than they actually are- something like that.
