The notorious emotion responsible for misunderstanding issues, that we have not thought about.  Issues, people, concepts; all that we think is alien to our way of being and perceiving the world.

 

At the most immediate level, whenever we think about others using stereotypes, of what he or she can or cannot do, we Inhibit decision-making.  Simple-mindedness, if un examined leads to us getting shut out from conversations, clients, customers and markets that might prove critically vital for our flourishing.  A capacity to continually get feedback, that makes us examine our assumptions, would be a useful way to regulate this detractor emotion.
