134. The psychology behind the "ick"
The Psychology of your 20s
The Purpose of the 'Ick'
This chapter explores the concept of the 'ick' in relationships and discusses its purpose as a self-defensive mechanism, a means of self-preservation, and a justification for ending things or avoiding rejection. It delves into the idea of post-rationalization and how our brain makes associations between negative experiences and certain stimuli, leading to feelings of disgust or aversion. Additionally, it highlights the power of intuition and how the 'ick' may be rooted in our gut instinct and past experiences.
