glad somebody can put this into words:

By: Hara Estroff Marano

"...Non-conscious processes operate all the time in complex decision-making, [although we] don't give them enough credit.
Often we cite rational-sounding criteria for our feelings and actions and do not disclose the subjective preferences of feelings that arise

so wait... i hafta trust myself now? but i've had such trouble trusting other people...!

lol, i kid. that's actually a pretty good chunk of text you posted. i especially like that last bolded line. i've come to terms with some of my non-conscious processes, but man is it hard.

having trouble trusting other people?

this is the biggest downer but i fear it may be true, i just don't want to believe it: "people ultimately fail you," is what my friend says. but at least once you allow the possibility of it, the ultimate disappointment doesn't seem THAT bad :P right???
