“I don’t really care so much what people say about me because it usually is a reflection of who they are. For example, if people wish I would sound like I used to sound, then it says more about them than it does me.”

Childhood Trauma: How We Learn to Lie, Hide, and Be Inauthentic
By being treated in these damaging ways, the child learns that being yourself is dangerous, that in order to survive and be at least marginally accepted by your caregivers, you have to hide who you really are: your thoughts, observations, feelings, and preferences.
Other times the child decides to lie to get their needs met, needs that otherwise would be completely ignored. For example, if the caregivers are emotionally distant, the child might lie or pretend that somethings going on just to receive some attention.
And, of course, if the child is routinely attacked or rejected for being authentic, they learn to hide and pretend. In many cases, to the degree where they gradually lose connection to their authentic self and have no idea anymore who they really are.
This is tragic. However, its important to realize that, as adults, we don’t have to be afraid of abandonment anymore. We don’t need our caregivers to survive. We can endure and deal with all these feelings of betrayal, hurt, distrust, shame, loneliness, anger, and many others.
As adults we can slowly untangle all of these problems and slowly rediscover who we really are. We also can start working on trusting others who actually are trustworthy. We can become authentic again.

What Happens In The Brain When We Dislike Somebody – Headspace
“In order to understand what happens in your body when you dislike someone, you can start by trying to understand fear. As Robert Sapolsky writes in “Why Your Brain Hates Other People,” when we see someone who even looks different from us, “there is preferential activation of the amygdala,” which means the brain region associated with fear and aggression flares up. This visceral, emotional reaction can spark a long-term pattern of dislike when it’s validated by action: if you perceive that someone has hurt you, your fear of them becomes rational. Our negative feelings toward someone get stronger as bad experiences with them pile up, and these negative thoughts trigger the fight-or-flight response in our bodies.”

“I am convinced that men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they don’t communicate with each other, and they don’t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.”
— Steve Jobs

The age of envy: how to be happy when everyone else’s life looks perfect
“But with the advent of social media, says Ethan Kross, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan who studies the impact of Facebook on our wellbeing, ‘envy is being taken to an extreme’. We are constantly bombarded by ‘Photoshopped lives’, he says, ‘and that exerts a toll on us the likes of which we have never experienced in the history of our species. And it is not particularly pleasant.’”

How self-deception allows people to lie
We lie to ourselves to protect our self-images, which allows us to act immorally while maintaining a clear conscience. According to the very latest research, self-deception may have even evolved to help us to persuade others; if we start believing our own lies, it’s much easier to get other people to believe them, too.

It’s only wrong when YOU do it! The psychology of hypocrisy | Dean Burnett
“Humans are prone to the principle of least effort, often known as the ‘path of least resistance,’ which means they’ll go for whatever option requires the least work. Hypocrisy allows you to appear principled without having to be so, which is much easier than adhering to strict principles.”

The Male Ego: Definition, Causes, Tips, and More
“The male ego can in some cases be tied to how and where a man sees his place in the world and whether he’s living up to expectations — his and those of society.
Cultural stereotypes for men can be intricately tied to both the inflation and deflation of the male ego. Some men measure themselves by the answers to the following questions:
Am I strong enough? Am I wealthy enough? Do I meet the traditional definition of masculinity? Do I attract women? Do I control things or people? Do people recognize me for these things and am I respected and revered for them?”

Teach AI to Work Like a Member of Your Team
“And here’s where the real opportunity emerged: The work graph—which included two months of activity that was vetted and context-rich—could then be used to train the AI tool. Because it captured everything the team deemed important, it provided the AI tool with real-time, human-validated context, which enabled the tool begin working in a way that aligned with how the team actually worked. With this input, the AI tool was able to produce a significantly more complete first draft, reducing iterations and accelerating the path to a final, usable contract. This approach cut the team’s manual effort in drafting each contract by more than half. While they still reviewed and verified the AI-generated output, they required far fewer iterations and much less rework. As a result, the team’s overall throughput in generating contracts increased by nearly 30%.”

Ai Content Disclosure Reasons
People are often encouraged—or even required—to state that an article, statement, or artwork was made by AI for reasons of transparency, ethics, and trust. Here are the main reasons:
- Transparency and Honesty: It helps readers or viewers understand who—or what—created the content. This prevents misleading audiences into thinking a human wrote or created something when it was generated by a machine.
- Accountability: When AI is involved, it’s important to clarify who is responsible for the output. This is especially true in areas like journalism, academic writing, or legal and medical information, where credibility matters.
- Informed Interpretation: Knowing that a piece was generated by AI can change how someone interprets it. For example, an AI-written poem may not carry the same emotional or autobiographical weight as one by a human.
- Ethical Considerations: Many industries are working to prevent misuse of AI-generated content (e.g., deepfakes, fake news). Disclosing AI authorship helps fight misinformation and supports ethical use of technology.
- Attribution and Intellectual Property: Clarifying the role of AI in a work can help with determining authorship rights and how a work can legally be used or sold.
