Day 3: Why Does the Brain Crave Familiarity?
Our brains are wired to keep us safe. The parts of the brain like the amygdala light up when something seems new or risky. To avoid danger, we stick to the familiar—relationships, places, or ideas that make us feel secure. But here’s the thing: most modern situations (like talking to someone who disagrees with us) aren’t dangerous at all! Still, our brains cling to safety signals, even when it’s unnecessary.
