What Not To Do
Containing interpretation when trust feels missing.
When trust is missing, interpretation can accelerate. The urge to explain the feeling can override what is actually observed.
This page is about containing reactive interpretation.
Do not treat discomfort as evidence. A sense of unease does not establish that something is wrong.
Do not convert suspicion into certainty. Repeated thoughts can harden into conclusions without new information.
Do not stack meanings onto unchanged details. Seeing the same information repeatedly does not change what it is.
Do not let vigilance become judgment. Watching closely can transform neutrality into assumed significance.
Do not force resolution where none has appeared. Pushing for answers can increase tension rather than restore trust.
This page offers no alternatives.
Its role is to slow interpretation so uncertainty does not turn into belief.
