Aw. How about at least treating my impression as evidence, rather than dismissing it.
Of course I'm treating it as evidence. I'm not insane. For me especially, it's not even possible for me to dismiss someone's impression without treating it as evidence.
Great :D
Mostly. It also causes a lot of stress, due to, e.g., a total inability to disregard negative social judgments. This has been true my whole life, and it's caused me to become a very strange person. That said, I find it entirely worth it, because I think it makes me a better rationalist and a better person, at least in the limit.
