Hook

Have you ever walked three blocks away from your apartment, stopped dead in your tracks, and thought: Wait… did I turn off the stove?

Or maybe you sent an email to your boss, noticed a weird phrasing five minutes later, and spent the entire afternoon wondering if they secretly despise you. Human beings are magnificent meaning-making machines, but we have a funny design flaw: we hate uncertainty. When an outcome is fuzzy, our brains rush to fill in the blanks, usually with worst-case scenarios, unnecessary guilt, or frantic mental replays.
