I am nearing the end of Stage 2 of BASE myself, and I can confirm that throughout the stage I've been more and more aggressive and impatient with people around me, when it comes to behaviors I find unproductive.
My temporary solution is to assume, that the anger is there to drive me to find new friends (which to some extent is already happening) and reconsider/recontextualize relationships with old ones. There are all the internal and external indicators, that the subliminal is doing its thing by rearranging my circle of friends. I find it a bit unnerving, but I know that's what I signed up for when I made a commitment to run BASE.
Quote, I can also relate to what you are saying about jumping to conclusions only to realize you're wrong. With me, that happens with people, who lack the ability to communicate clearly, leaving me guessing a lot of the time. Then, all that goal orientation kicks in, and since I don't have enough information to work with, I make stuff up (without even knowing at the time).
I'm guessing two things will happen in the coming months.
1. This behavior will get refined to a point, where I can predict those incidents much before they happen.
2. I will make it a point to avoid confrontations (and having to make stuff up) by limiting my contact with such people.
Let's see what Shannon has to say.
Shannon, I would also appreciate any input you may have on the matter.
