    @Schizophonia Wouldn't you say being sensitive to threats to the ego would be more accurately described by neuroticism (proneness to negative emotions, emotional instability?). If anything, a certain level of neuroticism may make you more prone to investigate a variety of different ideas because of the rapidly changing mental state, and being prone to threats could make you more prone to analyzing things in general (and also the way you analyze things could be particularly thorough). It could certainly make you more receptible to other people's emotional state as well.

    That's a very positive way to think about neuroticism. I tend to think of it as a blockage to proper analysis. When I'm in a state of agitation the stress gets in the way of being able to think clearly. Maybe agitation isn't the same thing as neuroticism.

    I had a panic attack last night. Instead of rejecting it, I embrace it. You can get to this point with patience and commitment to accepting yourself.

    do you meditate on it or do you try to express it physically, not to derail the thread but if you want we can PM I also have experience here
