High-agency people have this weird immunity to embarrassment. And the more you look at it the more you realize it's not that they're braver or or born without the shame gene.

It's that they relocated the shame. they moved the embarrassment button.

It's still there, they're not sociopaths, it's just wired to something completely different than everyone else's.

For most people the button is wired to: being seen wanting something and not immediately having it. Being caught trying. Looking dumb. Getting told no.

For high-agency people the button got rewired to a single thing: not trying. That's the only thing that makes them cringe.
