I try not to make it a habit, but have done it. The way I think I do it is, with a person I can go on "auto-pilot" and not think a lot about what I am doing, or why (if I've done an activity before, for instance), thinking the situation is "the same as last time" and then I miss either the really good stuff that makes a situation truly unique and different from the last time or the bad stuff the maybe makes it different, I am not sure why I do that. I am not saying I act like a robot or don't pay attention (I do), it's just maybe I am expecting nothing to be different, so I don't notice as much if it actually is different. Then if I get scared or react to something in a not positive light, I can't realy know for sure if it is about what actually happened, or just what I expected was going to happen (and thus what I saw). Of course, if something extra-weird happens I always notice. I just re-read this and it makes no sense, probably, but best I can do for now. -Susan
