How does one remedy the problems of "internalizing" and "mind-reading"?

Question

Sometimes through introspection, I find that these two common human social carriers of self-assigned inquiry into the behaviour of others brings discomfort. Could this be a security issue? If a person is comfortable with his/her self and feel secure with that self, would they be concerned about the motives of other people? How does a person stop these social interacting mind problems from causing anxiety and depression?

Answer 1

I wouldn't find either one a problem. It's a personal issue of trust and mentality, niether of which are evil or discomforting in their own right, only within the mentality of a mind could they be such.

Answer 2

The anxiety and depression may very well precede the internalizing and mind-reading. From personal experience, I had the find out on my own that childhood trauma can be the beginning of the symptoms you have described.
The fact is that it does not take a lot to traumatize a child. An adult can do it with a look. And certainly once the child is scared, he/she gets into mind reading as a defensive posture.
Get this, one morning not long ago I woke up in a dream where I had killed someone and buried them in the backyard. I felt terrible. I was feeling very guilty, and I was literally sick to my stomack, physically. Most of the pain was psych.
My mind told me two things right away before I totally woke up, first, it woke me up to the fact that I had never killed anyone and buried them in the backyard. And that the dream was about the feeling, the bad feeling I was experiences, but the images or the explanation were not real because it was only a dream.
I woke all the way and realized all of this, so I suddenly felt relieved of the guilt but very puzzled about why I was so afraid and what was I afraid of besides the dream.
The answer is, childhood trauma. One on the main features of this phenomena is that you can not remember the event that scared you so or the number of times it scared you so. You may remember the event in a different frame of mind, but not as a reaction to a particular event.
Feel into that notion. You see, it is about the feeling the trauma gave you at the time, it is not associated with the memory of the event that traumatized you. So, your job then is to begin talking to yourself and telling yourself that the dream is not true but the feeling needs to be explored and honored as a real thing. That connects you to your sense of well being.
Adult trama mostly is associated with an event, a car crash, being a fire fighter or policeman on the job, or being an owner of a home that had just burned down. Also, the loss of a friend or family member and so on.
Childhood trauma is not like Adult trauma problems. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Remedy: 1) be open minded about your own limitations (always know that you might be wrong), and 2) seek input from other people who have different theories (avoid confirmation bias).

You seem to be doing both; congratulations!

Note that these problems can be caused by insecurity, but also by overconfidence. People who master self-discipline and willpower (to overcome material obstacles but sometimes to compensate for insecurity or overcome self-doubt) are susceptible to this. Introspection and meditation are some of the most powerful tools humans have ever discovered; they can take an idea or thought and amplify it to change a life or a society.

But these activities necessarily take place without the potentially stabilizing or damping input of people wiser. Meditation or introspection overdone (and nobody is God) can lead to screeching loops like the feedback loop in a microphone. Internalizing and mind-reading are such loops.

For people who are worried about ego-protection, just remember that very few people follow steps 1 and 2 above. As long as you do those, feel free to walk around with a big head and project stupidity on everyone else!

Answer 4

There are two possible answers:
Those that use the "mind reading" gimmick for profit (confidence artists) and those that believe they have the "power". The motives vary widely for the motivations of the later but a large percentage do fall into the insecurity catagory. This could be solved by:
A) having the suject realise they have other abilitues that aren't supernatural but just as valuable and
B) showing the subject they (and other "sensitives") that they have no supernatural powers

Answer 5

Stop eating two concentrated foods at the same time.
