That’s the cycle of cognitive dissonance, a painful confusion about who you are gets resolved by seeing the world in a more satisfying way. As Festinger said, you make “your view of the world fit with how you feel or what you’ve done.” When you feel anxiety over your actions, you will seek to lower the anxiety by creating a fantasy world in which your anxiety can’t exist, and then you come to believe the fantasy is reality just as Benjamin Franklin’s rival did. He couldn’t possibly have lent a rare book to a guy he didn’t like, so he must actually like him. Problem solved.

From the same blog and VERY relevant to seduction: The Misattribution of Arousal

So not to be too far off track but that image of franklin reminds me. I really need to build my electrostatic gun.

For those that may ask...

I will have a piece of 1inch pvc with it wrapped in wool or shag carpeting type material. I will then place it inside another pvc pipe and rotate the 1inch piece with a motor from one end of the device. Then at the opposite of the motor I will place a lightning rod type piece of metal to direct the static charge. I can then tase the fuck out of people that visit my home when I am bored.
