worse than dumb + untrusting + low empathy?
what if you willingly choose to live a life thinking by default that nobody dislikes you nor likes you
I live naively by this because I really can't afford to think about it otherwise I would just isolate myself.
I just analyze my actions and how they can affect the other person. And I have to admit that, because of this, I get a whole bunch of anxiety by people that don't communicate much, but I just tell myself to keep going and that people are entitled to their own opinions.
My problem is, I'm smart enough to question whether my perception of whether people like me is accurate or not, thereby leaving me in a quandary of not actually knowing whether anyone likes me, short of asking them, but even if you ask they probably won't tell you the truth.
Negative feedback loop?
smart+untrusting+low empathy seems like such a curse. you're smart enough to detect people don't like you, but can't tell why on your own and don't trust anyone else to tell you why. and the result of learning people don't like you, usually, is not liking them.
