I dont understand what i am doing wrong.

rundown of my method:

what i use:
thin lace acquired from a pair of pajamas. similar to that of a shoelace, but th ends are folded rather than aglets.

what ive tried:
i took the lace and put it behind my head, holding equal parts infront of me. i tie a half knot at the front, pull hard, then tie one at the back. after im holding the two infront of me again, i tie a square/reef knot.

the expectation is that, once i head to tie the reef knot, i should start to feel dizzy or light-headed. that is NOT the case for me, im getting the help-me-my-head-is-exploding feeling instead, not fun.

ive tried this method on multiple areas, (right above my adam's apple, right beneath my jawbone, somewhere in-between the two, and more when i was trying to repeat it over & over) with absolutely no luck. its always the exploding feeling, then lips get numb, then nothing. ive tried waiting patiently with that feeling to no avail- it just keeps going and going and going for 5-10 minutes, it just. doesnt. stop.

i dont know what im doing wrong!!! ive tried doing the method with tight socks as padding on my 'carotids' (apparently not), with each position i mentioned earlier, nothing changes. sometimes with the padding, i cant even get the exploding feeling, just discomfort in my throat.

it might be because of two things:

a. me swallowing, changing the position. (which, mind you, ive done runs where i havent gulped at all--same story.)

b. im not pressing/pullung hard enough. (i am pulling my ABSOLUTE HARDEST, i assure you.)

what happens, p2:

imagine everything is in place.. and im pulling.

PUUUULLLL... [discomfort] [discomfort]... pump.. pump.. pump.. pump.. (pumping continues)... ~swallow~ (which ive been able to avoid a good few times).. (pumping continues)... lips start numbing and face turns red (sometimes with white spots/ my face turns purple).. and then everything keeps going for another 5-10 minutes, no signs of improvement.

I have zero clue what im doing wrong?? just as a not, i am incapable of feeling my carotids. i have trid for months, 20 minutes just feeling around, pushing, pressing hard, nothing. maybe i dont have carotids??? lol

i have tried partial, night night, nothing has been working. all the same story. please help me!

Can you feel your carotid pulse? It took me an age to even feel mine.

Although I haven't used a ligature I've never been able to collapse my carotids with my hands and pass out like some do.
