    I hope you don’t, it’s one of those questions that I couldn’t feel more relevant to.

    To answer OP, Zootopia said it best.

    “If the world is only going to see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there’s no point in trying to be anything else.”

    Catch-22’s form when people become stuck in their ways towards each other and are self-fulfilling. This is why standing up for oneself is inferior to sitting down for oneself. I’ve discussed how a previous question of mine can be said to touch upon this, though nobody seems to have understood it. Absolute thinking is the most socially destructive mindset.
