Fear makes you suggestible and more likely to act against your own interests. Your brain's negativity bias prioritizes threats over safety, a survival instinct that now distorts decisions and leaves you less logical. This vulnerability can be exploited to manipulate behavior.
One thing which you guys need to know, by the way, this state is the highest state of suggestibility. It's a bit like COVID again, like fear, fear, fear, fear, fear. Then the suggestibility is to do that. And people just— most people did things that they didn't want to do, and they ended up regretting it, but they did it because it came from a place of fear, and the suggestibility was easy and high to manipulate most people to do things that they didn't want to do. But that's what fear does. It doesn't make you resourceful, doesn't make you logical. So the decision-making process gets distorted. And again, the reason for that is that the brain has something called this negativity bias, right? It naturally starts paying more attention to threats rather than safety. And this helped humans survive in the past. But guys, again, today it means something else.
