This. True. So I had a discussion about guns in a library with the library director once. She was shocked and visibly scared, not just shaken, scared, of the thought that people had already been in the library with concealed firearms even though it's perfectly legal to do so in our state.

Based on our conversation, she sincerely believed that if she ever were to hold a gun she would be so frightened that she would start shooting people out of pure fear.

In her mind, absolutely no one in the world has any kind of impulse control. Which obviously is what she projects onto others.

So painfully obvious it is her problem, I don't understand how people are not self-aware enough to be able to grasp that concept.

It makes me wonder, thinking back and realizing how self aware I was at 6. I remember the second Regan election, and the internal dialog I had about it based on my parents comments about the votes.

I see the kids my children have grown up with and I can see soooo many npcs, see the choices they are making and have accurately predicted their future (thus far). Its a no wonder my kids dont fit in. The cognative differences is staggering.
