Defensive people genuinely think more with their ancient, reptilian It’s the most ancient part of the brain which evolved in reptiles and isn’t capable of nuanced emotion or logical thought. It’s primary driving force is fear. Two fears to be exact. The first worry of the lizard brain (yours, mine, everyone’s!) is “I don’t have enough!” – enough food, money, love, glory. Insert your own noun here__+________ but the theme “not enough” pounds away in your MIND constantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only other major concern for the LIZARD BRAIN is “SOMEONE’S OUT TO GET ME!!!!!!”. A highly sensitive person perceives threat coming from lots of sources; one day the enemy could be a colleague, a relative the next, or anyone in general 2 minutes later!!!! But to the LIZARD BRAIN, someone somewhere is ALWAYS OUT TO ATTACK!!! Evolutionarily this makes sense. Reptiles are blind to non-defensive emotions; to the glow of love, the joyful giggle. The only thing playing on their mental movie screens all day, every day is The Lack and Attack Show. The same is true of highly sensitive/defensive people. When humans are gripped by primal fear, they get completely in touch with their ancient lizard brains and highly defensive people are virtually always gripped by primal fear. So the best relationship you can hope to sustain with a highly defensive people is the sort you might have with a reptile. You can treat a highly defensive person as tenderly as a woman but you’re still highly likely to get bitten. Handle with care, step back and maintain some distance is your relationship with a highly defensive person.
