People who often
describe a bad situation that is impending, then they go on repeating how they
will react upon the situation and they go on changing tactics in one talk
several times, may reflect an inner stress that is lingering for long in their
mind. Whenever they try to calm themselves, this stress makes its firings that
provoke a state that calls for simulating the upcoming situation and by that
they go on forming future narratives that might sooth their ego. In most cases,
when the situation is processing, the stressful person follows a very different
path of what he was describing, for he was and is dictated by his emotions and
surroundings and the situation provides a real and different environment rather
than an imaginative one that was presented by his mind, important to mention
that his mind was creating the upper hand for himself in the mind-made
situations.
I take a step
forward on this aspect, and wonder if this attitude is exclusive for people
with certain inclinations and understanding of the world? Does it have any
relation to depth and superficiality? Does it address any aspect about the
knowledge of the person? Can it shade any light upon the reality that such
people are naïve or dishonest? Can we impute fear to their act and adduce this
aspect with some argument?
I think that
indeed people who usually act in this fashion have certain understandings,
which they might be unconscious about, and that is that people are conspiring
against them and that they can in no way negotiate with these conspirers. These
people might be inclined toward the belief that as these conspirers are just
holding their stances then there is no means to convince them logically but the
only way is to be brusque. Secondly, they might have strong beliefs that they
are the ones who are facing the world in the best way and the rest of the world
are dealing with aspects with some degree of naivety.
Relating this
aspect to depth and superficiality, it is not hard to realize that these people
might have superficial understanding on many aspects, and it is well known that
superficial people are damn sure about their stand, as they have not been
shocked by the realization that they had been holding utterly erroneous
understandings. People with some depth realize that their perspective might be
a marred one compared to what others hold, and this gives them the initiative
of allowing the others to adduce their arguments, on contrary, the person who
has never felt this feeling of mistake so deep, can hardly convince himself
that he might be carrying the wrong point of view.
It addresses the person’s
knowledge directly, and we can know so by reading the number of possibilities the
person puts forward. One can ask this person if he thinks that there are
different possibilities to happen at the situation and by his reply one can
understand how far this person has knowledge in the matter being addressed.
I think such
people have a certain degree of dishonesty with themselves. They might be saying
their words, of projecting how they will act, and at the same time, maybe, they
realize that a certain feeling in them is notifying them that they will hardly
act in this way, yet they force their words to be articulated just to show the
audience their audacity. The reactions of these people, when presented with
counter arguments of what they are saying, makes stronger the point that they
are impetuously throwing words without even giving good attention to how the
circumstance may unfold.
I think that this
whole step is taken to sooth themselves of what they might regard as an
impending danger. They do it the first time and the calming feeling they
experience calls them to repeat what they are saying as it covers the reality
that is upcoming. When giving their simulations, they won’t allow too much
interruption as that will diminish the calming effect of their act. With this,
I think that I have gained a strong ground on saying that this shows that their
act is based on a kind of fear that they are trying to distort in their brain.
It is lingering and causing them stress and this is how they counter it and
such counters might be good but for the very short-term and it gains the person
no new skills in dealing with situations, neither does it polish any former
skill but it just acts as a brain analgesic.
