primal beliefs
You carry a deep belief about the world's character.
Research identifies 'primal world beliefs' as stable, subjective assumptions about whether the world is inherently safe, enticing, or alluring.
These core beliefs act as a filter for how you interpret daily experiences. Someone who views the world as 'enticing' will interpret neutral events as positive, while others view the same events as inherently threatening or draining.
Your view of the world is a persistent, internal lens.
