[QUOTE="JayJay, post: 52701, member: 147"] I just wanted to advice you against being so [I]evolutionary-psychology centric [/I]when psychoanalyzing human behaviour[I]. [/I]I think that we should open ourselves to the possibility that human behaviour might be also influenced by unconscious narratives product of life experience. Honestly, never underestimate the capacity for unconscious beliefs to influence behavior! This might sound funny, but what if someone is that way, as you say, because he never received enough validation as a child (lmao)? Yes, I know. I might be projecting my own psychological deficiencies, but I hope this gets the point across. Anyways, going back to the point. As you see, what if that thing that happened when that person was a child started creating self-damaging narratives of not "deserving love"? How do you think this person will go on in life? Compensation. Anything works. Man, I think that should know it. The default network mode starts throwing off whatever bullshit to you when something painful happens. It is because, in my opinion, any self-narrative works because the ego-structure is only designed for survival and reproduction, and it achieves this purpose by the creation of narratives of all kinds that tell you about your role in relation to the world, and that's precisely why conscious action might be helpful so that you don't fall prey of this unconscious patterns of action.
