Idk if “little experience” means something in English, but what I meant is non-life changing/threatening. Things that would otherwise go unnoticed.

For me, it was when I stopped drinking acoholic beverages because… I ended up finding it boring, I guess.

I started noticing how low key hostile my environment is towards people who dont drink. People started thinking I was sick, depressed, converted to islam, being snob, etc.

Bartenders started to openly mock me when I asked for a lemonade (they still do) : “We dont do that here”, “Go to a physician if you need that”, “you’re in a bar you know ?”.

I started realizing how hostile my country/region/groups can be to people who dont drink. Never realized that before.

    I used to mix them up. Once I learned the difference and started making effort to communicate clearly then I began being seen as promotion material in my industry

      It has also a big impact in our personal lives. For example, it’s damn easier to avoid wishful thinking and doomerism if you keep them distinct, because then you start asking yourself “is this what I really see? Or am I letting my wishes and fears cloud my mind?”.
