@vangalien: I based this on emerging overlaps in: • Gabor Maté’s work on emotional suppression • Sherry Turkle’s studies on digital identity fragmentation • Bessel van der Kolk’s research on dissociation • Brené Brown’s insights on performative vulnerability • DSM-5-TR gaps between identity disturbance and emotional fatigue • First-hand pattern recognition from modern behavior online—ghosting, identity confusion, and self-numbing cycles These guided my discovery of a new psychological pattern that had no name… until now.
