I want to say the phenomenological perspective is something new that I’ve incorporated into my way of thinking but that wouldn’t be true. Analyzing, overanalyzing, and analyzing the results of what I just analyzed is how my brain thinks about people, life, and most consistently myself. whether I want to or not I think about the human experience and how the memories I have affect me on a daily if not hourly level. how did my memories and experiences cause me to turn out this way? that’s the question that I ask myself and as I read more about the first person experience and the importance of it I simultaneously understand it and don’t. my experience in life seems so mundane when I really sit back and think on them but at the same time because if them I feel like I’m am always at my breaking point. yet I look at people in my life who have experienced so much and they have the ability to seem hopeful for the experiences to come. so my question is what’s our breaking point?

our consciousness exists in the domain of experiences, perception, thought, imagination, emotion, etc. Through these experiences, we form our own personalized way of dealing with what we see. The spectrum that our methods of experience fall onto ranges infinitely. though is there a point on the spectrum where some fall short of adopting the necessary skills to deal with the unknown, not for lack of trying just out of chance? Every day I hyperfixate on the minute details of life for me and everyone around me trying to find something to fix how I am that may not even be there to be found. many of us have shared experiences and memories but the interpretation of them varies from person to person. if I were to think of my question mathematically there is a room with 30 people who just witnessed a traumatic event, of those 30 people use what you know about people vs the situation to determine how many people will be driven to the edge and how many will recover.

I really dont even know if phenomenology can answer my question but it’s propobably my best shot .
