The Feedback Loop
Summary: The core of good or bad education. The situation can delude a person into thinking their belief system is ‘perfectly normal’ when in fact, it is feeding the damaged belief system back into the perception and will damage a situation, relationship or worse.

Childhood ‘mind software’ and childhood experiences, and genetics can trigger behavioural patterns and perceptions. Without a diagnosis to gain a better understanding of a certain pathway, the habit loop and the feedback loop can decide the person into thinking certain behaviour is acceptable when projecting onto others or themselves. Help with via a professional can really change matters.
Updating the adult perception can allow a person to make further considerations they might never have thought of. New education will only rewire to allow accountability to be understood along with shame and guilt. In a few cases, matters might be harder to see that self-awareness is key along with accountability.
With regard to Narcissism or Malignant Narcissism (ASPD combined), it can block, it can even blameshift onto the victim. It might be better for everyone else to be educated.
Good education and experiences offer references to what was studied, experienced, reviewed and learned from; the positive feedback is still open for new information to update and allow a person to move forward with growth throughout life. Self-awareness keeps the feedback loop open. A lack of self-awareness can split the maturity and age number apart.
