To be honest, when I first entered the crypto world, I was very sensitive to price fluctuations, especially during crashes. At that time, it was really nerve-wracking and painful, and I couldn't take my eyes off my phone screen every day. 😖
As time passed, especially after experiencing countless crashes, strangely one day, it felt like I had been 'reborn.' In the face of market downturns, my emotions suddenly became stable, and it wasn't so painful anymore. This process wasn't as simple as just saying it; later I thought this experience felt quite similar to the medical principle of 'desensitization.' Some things can only be faced more to become indifferent.
Also, I occasionally enjoy reading casual books, and I came across a story related to this that I found quite reasonable.
It roughly said that tens of thousands of years ago, the living environment of humans was extremely harsh. As a species, our primary task was 'survival.' In that ancient era, even going out to relieve oneself could be life-threatening. 😂
As the number of deaths increased, to adapt to the environment, our brains 🧠 gradually evolved a characteristic: to amplify danger signals to ensure we could timely avoid risks in a harsh environment. On the contrary, being overly optimistic could cause people to relax their vigilance in dangerous environments, greatly increasing the risk of death. 💀
Over time, the 🧠 brain developed a tendency to suppress optimism and amplify danger, so the pleasure you get from making huge profits actually pales in comparison to the pain you feel when watching your assets shrink.
😂 Furthermore, when we face continuous crashes, the indescribable pain and fear we feel stem from our brains 🧠 automatically mapping it to our instinctive reaction to 'death.'
