Why It’s So Hard to Shake the Way People Make You Feel - Nir And Far
2022-06-06
Good or bad, our feelings color how we see people.
In psychology, a “trapped prior” is a perception of reality that’s colored, or trapped, by past experiences.
If not treated, trapped priors can turn into debilitating phobias. For instance, someone might have an overwhelming fear of dogs because they were bitten as a child.
Though not nearly as extreme, our trapped priors can shape how we perceive others.
