In this brief YouTube short, Jerry S. Lin challenges the common self‑criticism of “overreacting.” He argues that what feels like a character flaw is actually a resource deficit—a gap in training and nervous‑system conditioning. Because the body never learned that it is safe to pause, it defaults to a rapid, defensive response (“fires first every time”). Lin frames this response as “installed software” rather than a broken self, emphasizing that such neural patterns can be updated. The core message is that viewers are not broken; they are running outdated programming that can be re‑trained through self‑regulation and new learning.
