Just a random thought…
I have noticed that self effects, when testing alone, are sometimes barely noticeable, except for Spaceland, which makes me feel fuzzy, and with Bnol, which makes me feel like I am a cloud.
When I am in a social setting, the SELF effects are much more noticeable. The way my brain works, is I am thinking it might be due to the body language that others display.
I am thinking that we are hard wired to respond to body language in specific ways, and also that our own social programming over time contributes to how we respond, both internally and externally, to body language aimed at us…
So, I am wondering, if the self effects seem amplified in a social setting because not only are we ourselves reacting to the pheromone, but that we are also responding, both internally and externally, to the body language displayed to us by the target receiving the pheromone? Sort of like a feedback loop.
I could very well be full of it, but this truly seems that when I am in the presence of others, the SELF effects just seem more amped up.
