Specifically, I think we can map the "Boom/Bust" cycle directly onto **Life-History Theory**—oscillating between two survival strategies based on **Perceived Security**.

From a psychological perspective, silence isn’t always about fear of speaking.

Sometimes, it’s about fear of losing connection.

Many people learn early that honesty can lead to rejection,

conflict, or emotional distance.

So the mind adapts.

It chooses silence because it feels predictable.

Safe.

Not because silence is healthy,

but because being seen feels risky.

Over time, suppressing thoughts and emotions

can feel more comfortable than expressing them,

From a psychological perspective, sex is often misunderstood.

For many people, it’s not primarily about physical desire,

but about feeling wanted, validated, or emotionally close to someone.

In some cases, sex becomes a way to cope with loneliness,

to quiet emotional emptiness,

or to temporarily feel connected to another person.

That might explain why sex doesn’t always bring satisfaction,

and why people can feel empty even after intimacy.

Do you think sex is more about physical desire,

Tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, spices. That’s literally a balanced reduction. If a chef served it without calling it “ketchup,” people would eat it up.



In a Michelin restaurant it would be called:



Caramelized tomato reduction with fermented vinegar



And it would cost $12 for three dots on the plate.
