Unfortunately, second-guessing yourself is a vital skill. Imagine if you could never change your mind after your first thought on a subject.

Political extremism across the board, really. MAGA is just has the most heinous ideology behind it.

Eh, I'd say there's a lot of second-guessing but people are just so dumb that it ends up like that anyway. And leftist extremism, while it is and can be bad in many ways, isn't as bad as right extremism.

I specifically omitted levels of "badness" because it's functionally immaterial to identifying that there's a problem in the first place. Unless of course your only goal is to win a political dick-measuring contest and not effect real lasting change.

Everything is good in moderation. Fear is a part of survival instinct, but it can also cause issues that lead to injury or death. Pain is important to keep us alive, but one can also die of too much of it.

I had a lot of times where I was about to kms and survival insticts stopped me.

Like bruh, why does my brain have contradictory thoughts?

not saying that would have been good for me,, but damned if they wouldn't briefly acknowledge me, and my many fiery deaths, briefly
