Psychological Immune System

Psychological immune system means that bad things aren't as bad as we think, but it still feels like the worst possible thing you imagine happening. Another trait that i've seen emerge in almost all of my guessand i've seen kicking for me psychologically is to irresistibly want to build stories out of our experiences. And this is true irrespective of religious beliefs, spiritual beliefs, right? I find this across the board, you know, believers and non believers alike.
