Questions

After reflecting on how the most bullshitful things i recently talked about all were suggested to me by people i trusted and while i was under stress, though they weren't trying to brainwash me and i wasn't trying to be in a trance, i recognized that stress makes us suggestible from an extreme and unfortunate example.

But the same mechanism still happens among people who have chronic low grade stress (which is >99% of everyone living in the modern world) the more stressed we are the more suggestible we are, no matter how hard we try not to copy others.

So, have you found yourself fighting an uphill battle of trying to stop copying someone? And do you feel emotional pain often (i believe grieving is the only way to purge chronic low grade stress, but we must grieve the very oldest thing we ever repressed)?
