- learning environment sense - fragments of text to a friend
- experiences I've had, of being out of my depth in a way that kept me from even orienting to being out of my depth
- one important piece imo is to not gaslight the person by suggesting that it was somehow good for them
- like, they'll (hopefully!) eventually exapt it into something beautiful, but that will take healing/work
- this relates to what I call the learning environment sense (organ)
- a person can tell whether something is going too fast for them to learn without layering/tangling etc
- they can just tell, it's basically built-in, as a meta-sense
- it produces a sensation of overwhelm/learning-panic
- (the other end of the sense is ofc boredom)
- but then schools and many other learning environments subvert this sense
- I wonder if it would have felt good for Person to have been able to express during Situation something as simple as "this is going too fast for me to X" and have that received/acknowledged
- loose guess is yes
