>Huh? How so? What you said is right on the money (as per usual), but how do you figure?
1) I am perma-locked to Insight ≥80 and occasionally can stare directly into people's souls.
2) It is a common maladaptive response. I lack the proper language to articulate it but essentially our brains constantly try to adapt to our environment in order to survive. When fed random inputs we start to express what is known as learned helplessness. And similarly, when we are essentially in constant danger, we become tense and alert. When every little microexpression and tone shift can cause someone to blow up at you horribly (which is NOT normal behavior and it sucks so many grow up in neurotic environments like that) then it is only natural our brains try to optimize away any behavior that makes us step on a land mine. Unfortunately, in reality? These people don't blow up because of our actions. They would blow up at nothing if we were absent. That means we essentially learn not to exist, and read everything as a warning sign because there are none. Our pattern seeking brains make us chase ghosts. It's very closely tied to learned helplessness vibes wise but I can't explain it beyond this outline. But a few key takeaways are that you have automatic responses that correlate danger with random noise, almost like the "pigeon superstition" experiments from skinner. Though his interpretation is disputed the phenomenon afaik is very real.
3) I lived that to some extent too. Mom as well. And I know many others that had way worse variants of it than I.
