命运号角

Because of this, humans

evolved

an over-the-top obsession with what others thought of them—a

craving

for social

approval

and admiration, and a

paralyzing

fear of being disliked. Let’s call that obsession a human’s Social Survival Mammoth. It looks something like this:
因此人类过度在意别人的看法，渴求社会的认可和赞美，极度恐惧别人的反感。让我们把这种疯狂称作人类的社会后遗猛犸，它长成这样：






Your Great2,000 Grandfather’s Social Survival Mammoth was central to his ability to

endure

and

thrive

. It was simple—keep the mammoth well fed with social approval and pay close attention to its overwhelming fears of

nonacceptance

, and you’ll be fine.
2000祖先的社会后遗猛犸最主要的事就是忍耐和成长。这很简单，保持用社会认可和注意它对被否定的恐惧来喂它，你会好受的。
