The Importance of Explicit Rules and Anxiety of Implied Rules
The podcast episode explores the speaker's affinity for clear, explicit rules and discomfort with implied rules. Explicit rules provide a sense of predictability and a framework for behavior. However, the presence of implied rules creates anxiety and a fear of unknowingly violating social expectations. The speaker discusses the impact of these rules on personal experiences and the feeling of being locked out when unaware of implied rules. The episode highlights the distinction between etiquette and pop-up rules, with the latter being explicit rules that ensure everyone is on the same page. Pop-up rules help accommodate difference and organize gatherings or workspaces.
