Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I feel like I'm "too much" for the space I'm in?

This is a "fragmented" view of the self. We practice Letting the Body Be Where It Is. You accept your current "physical volume" without apology. You aren't "too much"; you are exactly "one body's worth." By allowing your body to inhabit its current location fully—occupying the space without "shrinking" or "bracing"—you provide a Status-safety signal. You have a right to your "coordinate," and that right is the basis of your structural integrity.

How does this help with social anxiety?

Social anxiety is often a "Status-threat" where you feel your presence is "unauthorized." By focusing on the "Somatic Right to Space," you bypass the social narrative. You aren't "performing" for others; you are just "being where the body is." In the Meaning Density Model™, this "un-apologetic placement" is the most regulated way to be in a group, as it is based on "biological fact" rather than "social approval."
