Like, the vast majority really do seem to just have no conscious train of thought. They just act on impulse and only start to think when their impulse doesn’t produce the expected response, that is if they don’t just lash out and get angry because it isn’t the way they want it to be.
Or persist in a series of varying thoughtless reactions, whether lashing out or simply engaging without stopping to think with ‘depth’.
Though, I’ve also come to understand many people seem to have no model for cognitive engagement. Like, “How do I think about this situation I’m in?”. So, I try to give some grace, but, ffs, what the damn… I wish more people would just physically stop, physically pause, and think before doing something which just causes a bigger problem. Like gd, why is everyone in my family like this…
Nothing will piss me off more than the response “I don’t know; I just did it cause I felt like it” after something that was incredibly obvious to be a bad decision if the person would have just taken two seconds to consider the details.
🤨😬
You can deny it for now but someday you’ll agree with me. All it takes is enough exposure
