Or if you see the world as a negative place where you can't trust anybody
maybe you never ask for help, even when you need it? Maybe you never
enter into compacts and commitments that would limit your excercise of
freedom? Maybe people can read that negative attitude in tension of the
muscles in your face...or in the way you eye them warily and cross your
arms in front of yourself to hide your "vulnerable" throat and chest?
Maybe that tension resonates with your environment. You are "en gaurd"
leading everyone you interact with to be "en gaurd" as well...and suddenly
the world is a bitter place where no one in willing to give you an even
break? Perhaps a social interpretation of the "observer effect?"
