We think people like us less than they really do.
Right.
We think it's going to get worse as it goes on.
When that's not true, it remains the same.
There's all of these things that predispose us to not interacting.
And the only guess I have is that
Our reputations are so critical for our survival that it would be prudent and wise of us to always be second guessing where we stand socially and be anxious about, oh, that person's, you know, going to reject me.
Maybe they don't like me.
It actually makes us more maybe respectful or maybe like we try harder to like be nice to people when we think that we're on bad footing.
It's a really tough question.
I think the answer is different for everyone.
Truthfully, I think it starts by recognizing those feelings are totally natural.
Everyone has some level of social anxiety.
It's just baked into our brains.
Probably.
That's the evolutionary explanation that makes the most sense to me.
Okay.
And I think that is probably part of the barrier.
When we ask this question, we all have heard that it's important to socialize for your health.
