Feeling sceptical?
Healthy questioning and unwillingness to accept claims without evidence. Skepticism protects us from deception and manipulation.
The unmet need
Truth and evidence before belief; protection from being misled; the right to question authority and claims.
A question to sit with
What evidence would help me trust this? Is my skepticism protecting me from real danger or preventing necessary trust?
What to do right now
Ask for evidence: "What makes this true?" Trust your instinct to question. Balance skepticism with openness—demand proof without closing off possibility.
