The people who become extremely selective about their time in their forties aren't becoming antisocial. They've simply collected enough data to know exactly which interactions leave them feeling more like themselves and which ones require a recovery period that nobody sees. - Silicon Canals

Netflix users say same thing about 'essential' true-crime documentary

People who grew up being told they were too sensitive didn't become less sensitive. They became editors. Every reaction now passes through a filter that decides whether the feeling is proportionate enough to be allowed out, and that filtering process is so automatic they genuinely believe they're calm when they're actually curating. - Silicon Canals

Sensitive children often suppress their emotions, leading to automated behaviors that mask true feelings.

I grew up being told I was too sensitive and I spent the next twenty-five years building an entire personality around not reacting.

Emotional steadiness often masks deeper issues rooted in childhood experiences and societal feedback.

The Shame of People-Pleasing

Humans have a strong tendency to overcorrect. Perfectionists, in particular, overcorrect by forcing themselves to become different versions of themselves, or fundamentally different people. Disdaining weakness in general, they often enter treatment to attempt to eliminate all of it. In my experience, one of the more glaring and repugnant weaknesses is people-pleasing, the tendency to go above and beyond to make others feel comfortable and/or happy.
