I was looking at a woman tonight–I do actually get out pretty regularly–and I could feel she was someone who judges everyone and complains about everything. Someone who is hard to get along with.
And the phrase “Stable Fear Structure” and “Stable Fear pattern” popped in my head. Who is she? Well, if I myself am judging her correctly, and finding the right things wrong with her (note to self: what WAS it that made me look at her?), then she has a stable fear structure which is present in all interactions with everyone. It has been with her since before her memory formed and it is unlikely to ever disappear. It defines her.
This concept, of Stable Fear Structure, as a durable personality trait, is useful. Some analogue may exist in “the literature” somewhere, but this is my proposal for a name.
