Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it feel so strangely comforting to just "be myself" for a few minutes?
You are experiencing the "Quiet Familiarity of Yourself." This is the Safety Signal that occurs when the Status system stops demanding a performance. It’s the feeling of "coming home" to your own skin. Normalizing these moments of self-recognition is vital; they are the "landing lights" for your nervous system, showing you that being "unrated" and "unobserved" is your most stable and restorative state.
Can I make this "familiarity" last longer?
You can't force it, but you can "invite" it by reducing Evaluation Density. The more time you spend in a "Zero-Verdict" space, the more your system trusts that it’s safe to be "just you." As this trust grows, the quiet familiarity becomes your "default baseline" rather than a rare occurrence. This is the transition from "Identity as a Project" to "Identity as a Presence."
