High Suggestibility is Social anxiety

 We walk around, people say something negative, in scrutiny, as criticism - and we believe it, we take it to the heart, and it looks as if we are taking it very personally.
We are not sensitive - there is issue with high suggestibility. Mesmerism. We are easily hypnotized by other people - due to self hatred. This leads to RSD issues, too.
We start to think ahead of abusers and we try to protect ourselves from their potential aggression and punishment - and this keeps is in the state of high suggestibility. This is not self esteem issue as CBT tries to make us believe. CBT itself is narcissistic abusive bias tool - and we believe in that crap too.

Learning more about Rejection Sensitivity - I noticed something that previously I ignored, something that was on auto pilot:
- that when I am talking to someone new, someone I do not know closely how they think - I would feel social in the first 5 minutes but then I would feel as if I am boring to them and I need to leave them alone
- this happens when I am totally alone and I go to some place - after a while I feel as if I am not wanted
- closely related is when I know someone well - I do not feel close enough to invite to organize a meeting with them assuming they would say yes out of pity or if we meet - that the next time I am suppose to meet or visit - I would feel like I am in the way.

Toxic shame takes over my beliefs and convictions - and I am convinced that I bother other people. And I do not want to waste their time, to worry about me, to take up their time. And I am not aware of it, this is going on as auto-pilot.
This toxic shame is also present when I need something, when I need to ask someone for help or assistance - even when this is their job.

How come No one notices how hurt and drained you are, but everyone notices the anger and frustration..

The idea that there
are two worlds, experienced in different ways, was also central to René
Descartes’s rationalist philosophy. Unlike Plato, however, he did not think of the
material world as a “shadow” of an ideal reality. It is not the world that is
imperfect, but our senses, which can be deceived and cannot be trusted to give us
a true idea of the world around us. More reliable is our ability to reason, with
which we can experience the ideal world and get a better understanding of things
as they actually are.
DK Heads Up Philosophy 

💭There are two worlds: the world of experience sensed by our bodies and the world as it is in itself.
Immanuel Kant

For empiricist philosophers, reality consists only of the material world we live in—
the world that we experience through our senses. We use our reason to interpret
what our senses tell us, and it is this that provides the ideas we have about the
world. 
Objects also have “secondary qualities,” which can differ from one observer to
another and are subjective—for example, the properties of taste, smell, and
color. We can have an accurate experience of the primary qualities of an object,
but our ideas of its secondary qualities are different from the object as it is in
itself.
DK Heads Up Philosophy

☸️Underlying Hinduism and Buddhism is the view that the world we experience is illusory and masks our perception of the eternal, universal reality that everything is part of.
the reality where all is One.
DK Heads Up Philosophy

The Islamic philosopher Ibn Sînâ, also known as Avicenna, imagined a man floating in the air, blindfolded, and touching nothing, so that he receives no information from his senses and is completely unaware of his body or the world outside him. Yet he is still aware that he exists. Avicenna had set out to show that this thing that exists is the man’s soul, distinct from his body.
Around 600 years later, René Descartes presented a similar thought experiment—the idea of an evil demon deceiving all his senses—in order to dismiss anything that could be doubted, and build his knowledge of the world from the single certainty that he existed. But Avicenna and Descartes showed only that the “soul” or “mind” exists and is aware of its own existence,
and not that they had bodies that exist in a material world.
DK Heads Up Philosophy

A brain in a vat
In the 1980s, American philosopher Hilary Putnam:
My brain is wired up to a computer that stimulates it, making me think I’m experiencing
everything in the world, but in fact it is just a series of electrical signals. Every
experience would be the same as if I experienced it with a real body in a real experience would be the same as if I experienced it with a real body in a real world—and I would have no way of knowing that this isn’t the case. 
DK Heads Up Philosophy

Some philosophers believe that individuals are free to do anything they want with their lives. We do not
have to live within the constraints of our society.
Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard believed that
since many philosophical explanations of existence were at odds with our
individual experience, we have the ability to make choices that shape our lives
However, this freedom of
choice does not necessarily bring us any happiness. On the contrary, when we
realize that we are absolutely free to choose to do anything, our minds reel, and
we have feelings of dread and anxiety. This “dizziness of freedom,” as
Kierkegaard called it
comes from an awareness of our own existence and personal responsibility. We then have to decide whether this leads to despair and
choosing to do nothing, or to living “authentically,” making choices that give
meaning to our lives.

When we were punished not for things we chose or did, but for feelings & reactions we did not choose or control, we develop BS (Belief Systems) that we "deserve" shame for things that aren't our fault-- and/or, we "control" things we can't possibly control.

Scottish philosopher David Hume suggested that we have thoughts, experiences, and memories—what he described as a “bundle of
sensations”—that together form the subjective consciousness we recognize as our self.
William James described consciousness as being like a stream—changing all the time. As we experience new things, our minds interpret the information and organize our thoughts accordingly.

When someone disrespects you, it’s not a time to lower your expectations so it doesn’t feel so bad. It’s time to raise the bar on how they’re accountable and apologize.

Even a seemingly sound argument can lead a paradox. It is often difficult to see if this is due simply to faulty reasoning, or to false, ambiguous, or even contradictory premises.
📖DK Heads Up Philosophy

Epicurus went so far as to argue that pleasure is the greatest
good, and pain the greatest bad. He thought that morality can be measured by the
amount of pleasure or pain it causes, and so the aim of a good life is to maximize
pleasure and minimize pain. But this was a minority view, and other schools of
thought adopted Socrates’s view.

AI "sociology aspect about social anxiety"
From a sociological perspective, social anxiety isn't solely a personal experience but is also influenced by societal norms, cultural values, and the social environment. It's shaped by factors like individualism vs. collectivism, gender roles, self-perception, and societal expectations about how individuals should behave in social situations. 
Sociological Aspects of Social Anxiety:
Cultural Factors:
Different cultures have varying attitudes towards shyness, social norms, and the importance of social approval, which can impact how social anxiety is expressed and experienced. 
Social Appraisal and Self-Concept:
Societal emphasis on social evaluation and performance can intensify feelings of social anxiety, particularly in late modern societies. Those with lower social status or facing inequalities may experience heightened anxiety due to perceived negative evaluations. 
Social Learning and Trauma:
Negative social experiences, bullying, and abusive relationships can be triggers for social anxiety, particularly for those with a heightened sensitivity to social interactions. 
Social Expectations and Gender:
Societal expectations about gender roles and behavior can influence how individuals with social anxiety perceive and respond to social situations. 
Self-Presentation and Efficacy:
Individuals with social anxiety may feel they lack the ability to effectively present themselves in social situations, leading to anxiety about potential negative evaluations. 
Stigma and Shame:
Negative perceptions of social anxiety, such as the idea that it's a sign of personal weakness, can contribute to stigma and feelings of shame, further hindering individuals from seeking help or engaging in social situations. 
Social Isolation and Interpersonal Relationships:
Social anxiety can lead to social isolation and difficulties forming and maintaining interpersonal relationships, impacting overall well-being. 
Interpersonal Conflict:
Socially anxious individuals may experience increased interpersonal conflict, potentially further exacerbating their anxiety. 


Tell me no Lies 💔❤️‍🩹➡️❤️🥰🌹💪🏻🚫Narcissists🚫
@lovewins11011
A narcissist will never see themselves as the problem. In their mind, you are the reason they lie, cheat, manipulate, gaslight and fly into rages when challenged.

Interrogative suggestibility: The extent to which an individual is influenced by leading questions, pressure, or suggestions during questioning, such as during police interviews or psychological evaluations. Highly suggestible individuals may alter their answers in response to the authority they are confronted with, even if it isn’t directly hostile 
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility

Suggestibility can cause us to make bad decisions, particularly if we receive false information that interferes with our memories and existing knowledge. This incorrect information can impact how we recall memories and make choices when dealing with similar instances. For example, we may recall a dentist visit as being uncomfortable yet manageable. Suppose another person describes how horrible they imagined our dentist appointment was. Based on this discussion, we may alter how we remember our experience at the dentist's and then later postpone a necessary appointment because of this warped memory.

Individuals with a vulnerability to suggestibility are also at risk of manipulation as they are more likely to believe and act on information given to them by another person. In mildly or overly manipulative contexts of seduction or coercion, an individual’s suggestibility increases in the same way as someone under the influence of hypnosis.28 In these situations, a person’s confidence and trust in their own judgements is often slowly eroded, making them more likely to rely on external suggestions during decision-making. 
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility


A typical example of the looming effect of suggestibility is seen in witness testimonies. When individuals give their initial statements, their memory of an event can be altered because of the initial interview process. During the interview process, attorneys or police may make suggestions, confusing and distorting the memory of the witness. This phenomenon has been extensively documented and observed and poses a real and threatening issue for legal decision-making.
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility

Suggestibility can also impact the judicial process through false confessions and compliance. Otgaar et al. conducted a review of experimental data in which false confessions were experimentally evoked, and suggestibility and compliance were measured.20 They found that high levels of suggestibility lead to individuals being more predisposed to making a false confession to a crime they did not commit. High levels of compliance also had the same effect, although not to the same extent. 
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility

In medical research and clinical trials, suggestibility is a variable researchers must address and manage due to its influence on participants’ behaviors and responses. Clinical trials rely on participants giving truthful and objective accounts of how they are feeling or how they experienced an intervention. One ongoing question that looms over the sector is how technology can impact participant beliefs in these trials and whether this may alter responses to treatment by modulating suggestibility. Using online multi-media consent forms rather than traditional paper-based forms has been shown to enhance participants’ understanding of and engagement with clinical trials. Similarly, presenting an informational video during the consent phase can make patients more willing to participate in the research study and lead to better information retention.
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility

People who experience intense or strong emotions are generally more receptive to suggestibility. This is because strong emotions, such as fear or excitement, can overwhelm the rational part of the brain (prefrontal cortex), which is responsible for critical thinking and logical analysis. When this happens, people are more likely to accept external suggestions to help them make decisions. Heuristic thinking, or the brain’s reliance on shortcuts to make quick decisions, may also influence suggestibility. When we are trying to make a decision, especially under pressure, cues or suggestions that are presented to us may be used as shortcuts by the brain. 
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility

Psychologists believe that people with lower levels of self-esteem and assertiveness are typically more suggestible. The relationship between low self-esteem, low assertiveness, and suggestibility stems from psychological traits and cognitive tendencies that influence how people respond to external suggestions. For example, individuals with low self-esteem and low assertiveness often experience an increased need for approval which can lead them to conform to others’ suggestions to feel more accepted. Similarly, while assertive individuals are better equipped to question and resist others’ suggestions, less assertive people may lack the skills or confidence to critically evaluate what they’re being told. Finally, an overall lack of confidence in one’s decisions can make individuals more dependent on external cues, instruction, or opinions. 
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility

Finally, researchers have also attributed the variability to suggestibility to differences in attentional functioning. Attentional functioning is defined as our ability to filter irrelevant information and inhibit prepotent responses.5 Overall, several behavioral and social characteristics influence each individual’s tendency to take cues from others and change their beliefs based on those suggestions.
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility

How to avoid it
Suggestibility is a trait that individuals possess to varying degrees, and in a way, it’s part of who we are. Due to its basis in human cognition and social behavior, it may not be entirely possible to eliminate suggestibility. However, individuals can take steps to reduce the influence in various situations through strategies that enhance critical thinking, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. 
https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/suggestibility





Our identity is influenced by factors such as our class,
ethnicity, age, and gender as well as our tastes in things

Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩
@Ryan_Daigler
Malignant narcissists don’t just abuse, they dehumanize their targets. They convince themselves that you don’t deserve compassion, dignity, or even basic human rights. In their eyes, you become less than a person—just a tool to use, a threat to silence, or a flaw to erase. And once they've dehumanized you, anything they do to you feels justified in their twisted reality.
Why they do it:
1. To Justify the Abuse
They can’t abuse you and still see you as fully human. So they convince themselves that you’re "too dramatic," "weak," "crazy," or "the problem." That way, anything they do to you becomes “justified.”
2. To Project Their Own Shame
Narcissists carry deep shame they refuse to deal with. Instead, they offload it onto you. You become the scapegoat, the broken one, the one they can punish and look down on—because that’s how they keep their fragile ego intact.
3. To Stay in Control
They see life as a hierarchy—and they must be on top. If they can reduce you to something “less than,” they can control you, exploit you, and erase your ability to challenge them.
4. To Shut Off Empathy
Empathy makes them vulnerable. If they let themselves feel for you, they’d have to acknowledge your pain—and that threatens the entire illusion of superiority. So they dehumanize you to silence their conscience.

And yes, they often truly believe it.
Once you become a source of narcissistic injury or no longer serve their ego, they begin to view you through a distorted lens. You're no longer a person—they see you as a threat, a liability, a tool, or a burden.
And the longer this goes on, the more real this false reality becomes in their mind.
How It Looks in Real Life
-Dismissiveness: “You’re just being sensitive.”
-Objectification: They treat you like a thing they own or a resource to use.
-Mockery: They ridicule your pain or twist your words in public.
-Scapegoating: They blame you for their bad behavior and project their own darkness onto you.
-Isolation: They separate you from people who might affirm your humanity or worth.

Their ultimate aim isn’t just to hurt you—it’s to erase your sense of self, your credibility, and your emotional reality. If they succeed, you’ll stop fighting back. You’ll start doubting yourself. You’ll shrink, accommodate, and internalize the idea that you’re the problem.
That’s when they feel most powerful.
That’s when they feel safe from exposure.

Remember, you are not the problem.
You are not less than.
You are not what they told you you are.
Dehumanization is a manipulation tactic—nothing more.
Recognize it. Call it out. Reclaim your humanity.
Now some of you may be thinking (like I do) “but I feel like narcissists are less than human. They don’t act human. I think they’re evil. I don’t think they deserve any compassion anymore for the things they’ve done. Does that make me as bad as them?”

The answer is no. Feeling that way doesn’t make you like them—it makes you human. You’re responding to cruelty, betrayal, and psychological harm the way any sane person would: with outrage, with grief, with a sense of moral injustice. The difference is, you still ask the question. You still have a conscience. You self reflect. They don’t.

Throughout his work, Marx was concerned with the emotional and physical costs of living in a capitalist society. He believed that many people experience a feeling of “alienation” – a sense of being unfulfilled in life and disconnected from other people. Marx believed that this feeling of alienation was especially common in the workplace, where people felt they had no control over their working conditions or the goods they produced.

The notion of childhood as a special and innocent time of
life is a recent social construction. French historian

published in English in 1962 and explained how
childhood as we know it did not exist until the 19th
century. Before this people were either infants or adults.
📖DK Heads Up Sociology

In a classic work on education, Schooling in Capitalist America, published in
1976, US sociologists Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis suggest that while
education does provide knowledge and skills, it also has a role in maintaining the
existing social order. Education accustoms young people to accepting certain
behaviours and restrictions; in other words, it makes them do what they are told.
In their book, Bowles and Gintis explained what they called the “hidden
curriculum”. This has nothing to do with the formal programme of studies which
every student knows about, with subjects such as mathematics, science, and
languages. The hidden curriculum uses rules, punishments, and rewards to teach
students to conform to such norms (social expectations) as punctuality, smart
dress codes, and obedience to instructions from those in authority.
Bowles and Gintis claimed that there is a parallel between the way school is
organized and the way work is organized. In what they called a “correspondence
theory”, they saw the power of teachers as similar to that of a manager at work,
and the routine of school corresponding with the nine-to-five routine of the
workplace. Neither students nor workers have much control over what they do
📖DK Heads Up Sociology

 In a book called The Social Construction of Reality published in 1966, Austrian
sociologists Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann noted that institutions played a
key role in maintaining society. They argue that we often take institutions for

to the society in which we live. Institutions also affect people’s identities,
shaping in various ways how they think and act towards others.
The most common types of institutions across all societies are education,
religion, the family, marriage, government, culture, and business.

Telling a narcissist what they did to you or said to you that hurt you is the fastest way to anger them. To them, accountability is a 4-letter word, and results in blame-shifting, gaslighting, defensiveness, and retaliation. Please disengage. Your mental health deserves better.

The concept of community evokes an image of a group of people who share a
common culture and set of values, and, most importantly of all, live in the same
area. 
For example, we can talk about
communities such as the gay community, the business community, or the student
community, where a shared characteristic forms the basis for people’s
association rather than that they live in the same place.

Much of Weber’s writing explores the effects of “rationalization” in society.
This refers to the way Western society has become increasingly organised
around reason, logic, and efficiency. Weber argues that, although rationalization
leads to greater technological and economic advances, it also limits human
freedom and creativity. According to Weber, rationality has trapped modern
society in an “iron cage”, leading to a widespread sense of “disenchantment” or
disillusionment.

Durkheim believed that society is held together by shared values and beliefs. In

@defendsurvivors
It is extremely common if you didn’t even know what was happening to you was considered abuse. Why? Because society normalizes and excuses abuse every day.

Émile Durkheim believed it is not primarily fear of punishment that prevents
most people from committing crime. He suggested, rather, that people do not
commit crime because the moral values they absorb from society have a
powerful restraining influence. We learn at a young age that breaking rules does
more than risk punishment. Wrongdoing evokes guilt, embarrassment, and selfblame, especially if the culprit is caught. Thoughts of public exposure and family
shame, and living with a guilty conscience, often prevent someone from
breaking the law in the first place.
📖DK Heads Up Sociology

sociologist Erving Goffman in his book Stigma (1963) talks about how people
work hard to maintain a front of normality, and avoid encountering negative
reactions, if they have something they want to keep hidden, such as a mental
