Real or Fake Threat
The perceptual stage of interpretation leads us nicely into the second italicized point in the definition of fear which is a “real or fake threat”. We fear because threats are damaging to our mental and physical well-being. Fear is a safety barrier used to protect us psychologically and physically. If it wasn’t for fear, we’d all walk into a pit of snakes without a concern for safety. Fear protects us but too often it holds us back from reality and excelling in performance with whatever we do. We are especially held back when a psychological fear is present.
The interpretation stage in perception tells us that different messages and understandings can be drawn from the same situation.
Say there is a car accident with many witnesses whom are asked to recall the event. Each witness will most likely have a different recollection of the event to each other because of interpretation.
While some interpretations of the situation will be true, most interpretations will be fake.
What this means for building your confidence is a fake understanding is holding you back. You are psychologically erecting an invisible barrier to the situation which instills poor confidence within you. The psychological barrier doesn’t exist. It is completely given birth based on your wrong interpretation or perception of the situation.
When you have feared something and have ignored the fear, how often have you found it to be the truth? It hardly ever is! Franklin Roosevelt in the 1933 first Inaugural Address said “we have nothing to fear but fear itself.” We all subconsciously make-up garbage. That is the main point I want you to take out of the perceptual process. As feelings, thinking, and experiences are used in interpreting the situation, it makes perceptions a very shaky and unreliable source for reality and the truth.
What you interpret from a situation is not necessarily reality and will most likely be no more then an invisible psychological barrier you are giving birth to inside of yourself in developing confidence to communicate.
It’s a common characteristic in those who are stubborn or righteous to lack self-confidence. You may perceive these stubborn people as being overly confident but they actually lack the confidence to welcome other’s point of views. These people shield themselves from other’s opinions by failing to listen. They lack the confidence in their own perspectives to welcome other people’s input continuing with their stubborn ways. Confident people are welcoming and not fearful of others.
