During a discussion of dinner plans, I noticed I was reacting negatively to a suggestion of a restaurant I know I actually like. I guessed that the negative reaction is the result of having primed myself for a totally different type of food, and subsequently thought of “what I’m primed for” as a separate category than “what I would actually find enjoyable” for I think the first time.
I feel like my expression of Agreeability has been unpleasantly low lately, so until I come up with something more scientific I’m going to try noticing when I’m feeling disagreeable and reflecting on whether it could be an effect of priming, and compartmentalizing accordingly.
