Glossolalia has a unique pattern of neural activity, distinct from psychopathologies and even other trance-like states. So, the feeling underneath is special, but the actual speaking itself seems learned. It makes you wonder where that feeling comes from.

Active listening isn’t about ticking boxes in conversation; it’s about diving into emotions to transform surface-level chit-chat into deep, collaborative dialogue. Forget models, focus on feelings.

Our nervous system transforms senses to feelings long before they become thoughts and behaviours. One can't talk about them in isolation. Our aversion to emotions is just an aversion to passionate emotions. But just remember that your body is better at your life that you are.

Focusing on edge-cases of "trans-regret" is missing the point. If you actually care about these cases, then the interesting issue are the underlying vulnerabilities that lead to regrettable decisions. But probably you shouldn't care.

The success of the people we surround ourselves with directly influences our performance and sense of accomplishment. It's worth paying attention to how we balance this, both with those more successful but also those less.
