i know myself 2 be pretty susceptible to influence so picking a book to read feels like, dangerous. fiction or nonfiction, it's like handing a stranger the key to my brain... which is fun in its own way too but still high-stakes...
if i give something my full concentration it can easily seep into every aspect of my life... certain writing styles will have heavy influence over my internal monologue... it's a lot. my brain is all i have. letting someone else take it for a drive can feel dangerous
which isnt to say that i'm incapable of critical thinking, just that i'm easily persuaded cause of being high-empathy...
idk if this makes sense, cause sometimes i'm empathy-deficient, but often i can easily understand other ppl's perspectives even when they're contrary to mine
i said "dangerous" in this thread twice, my therapist would have a field day
