Frequently Asked Questions
I feel so much better when I’m alone. Is it because I’m an introvert?
It might be because "Nothing Is Being Asked of You." When you are alone, the "Demand Density" of your environment drops. In the Meaning Density Model™, "Agency" returns when expectations fall away. You aren't necessarily "avoiding people"; you are "Seeking Choice." Recognizing that "nothing being asked" is a "Safety Signal" helps you understand why your system craves these "No-Demand Zones" to restore its Integrity.
How can I feel that "no-demand" safety even when I'm around people?
By setting "Internal Boundaries." Remind yourself: "I am not responsible for the reactions of others in this moment." This reduces the "Implicit Demands" your Status system perceives. By "Lowering the Requirement" for yourself to perform or fix things for others, you create a "Personal No-Demand Zone" that travels with you. DojoWell teaches that "Autonomy" is an internal setting, not just a result of being physically alone.
