You do follow the main psychology podcast. I wrote this one.
It's pretty cool that you do that. You care about that and that you admit that you do that, but you also do, you are interested in synthesizing. So maybe you're not giving yourself enough credit.

Well, first of all, I wanted to say, you asked me where can people find out if they're in HSP, and I just wanted to say hsperson.com. Lane Aaron has a scale that you can take some self-tests, so I wanted to say that. Cool. This question you asked, I was wondering if you could ask it one more time so I can really fully process it. Safety, feeling a sense of internal safety, is that it?

Yeah. Well, I think that in general, we have much deeper reservoirs of resiliency than we realize. And we don't give ourselves the chance to test our resiliency muscles because we're too quick to constantly avoid things that we fear. So first of all, I do think that's very important. I also think that a lot of young people didn't get the memo that you don't have to feel happy all the time.

A lot of young people, the second they feel unsafe, they avoid at all costs what could happen. And of course, we want to be safe, but don't always avoid the feeling of feeling unsafe. A lot of people feel unsafe around ideas. around words. That's become a thing in the younger generation, as Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff talk a lot about in Coddling of the American Mind.

A lot of people feel unsafe with ideas with people that don't agree with them. They feel unsafe. And I don't think that's the way forward in life. That's not the way you challenge yourself.
