Even at Steemfest though, people could still be playing at nice. I'm not saying I couldn't still enjoy myself, but it's like there's a little itch sometimes, ya know? I don't get it often, and it's probably an intuition thing.. But, I do wonder what Steemit would be like for me if I never had doubts about anyone's intentions.
That includes my own sometimes too!
You gotta trust that itch. I have exact same thing sometimes then I put it down to silly paranoia then later find out I was right! Then again sometimes I am wrong! But when you are right you know it ,it feels like!
Same thing with me. I doubt myself often, but far more often than not, I turn out to have been right. I think my subconscious mind has deduction skills that my conscious mind is too slow to keep up with. Because I never know why I think what I think. I just know I think it. This is the source of the doubt, but I think you're right. I should trust it more often.
I think the "subconscious" mind is actually the more rational part of your brain, attempting to gain your attention, while your consciousness mind wants to avoid that doubting, since it's usually linked with anxiety and you just want to stay positive/happy. Like a little conflict going on between the two different kinds of thought processes, fighting to get your attention
It's either that or steemit literally has managed to assemble all the nicest, kindest people from across the world.
What are the odds
