Z.M. You didn’t have the belief that everyone would anticipate your procedure’s success.
You did have the belief that some people would sometimes be polite to you. Now, here you are in the “should world” saying that no-one should ever be polite to you.
I’m particularly concerned because I think I sniff a whiff of aspiration towards mental toughness, of “tell me the awful truth, if I can’t take it I don’t deserve the benefits of a lie” rather than “tell me the truth, reality is what it is, only relative awfulness exists and relative awfulness is a feature of the map, not of the territory, a feature of worlds which could never be, in which my illusion of free will failed and the deterministic abstract ideal dynamic that I am, in contemplation of a choice that it was determined to reject, instead chose the relatively awful seeming option that by the dynamic that I am must be rejected”.
