INSIGHT

Humiliation Is Wired As A Deep Threat

  • The brain encodes sexual humiliation as a primal threat similar to life-threatening events.
  • Evolution wired social ostracism fears to protect mating and survival, making rejection feel like serious trauma.
ADVICE

Bring Up And Work Through Traumas

  • Process trauma by deliberately bringing the memory up later in a safe space instead of suppressing it.
  • Recognize, accept, investigate the emotion, let it play out, and then release it to stop it running in the background.
ADVICE

Two Goals For Going Out

  • Go out with only two goals: have fun and meet new people.
  • Stop aiming to impress or secure sex and focus on enjoying interactions instead.
