ある行動を何度も繰り返せば、それが自動化され、あまりそのことに思考を向けないようになっていくことが多いが、いつもそうなるとは限らない。
If we repeat a certain action many times, that action becomes automated, and we start doing it without thinking much. However, this is not always the case.
。
For example, if you always express your thoughts honestly in conversations with others, this behavior will definitely become automatic.
。
And you will naturally develop the habit of expressing your opinions without being particularly conscious of it.
。
However, if every time you speak honestly you are repeatedly criticized or rejected by those around you, you will often come to believe that speaking frankly is disadvantageous for you, and you will begin to build walls against expressing yourself honestly.
。
If you keep building such walls for yourself over and over again, the very act of building those walls will become automatic, and you will gradually speak less frankly. Even without being fully aware of the consequences of your actions, you will become more and more silent.
。
This phenomenon is called the automation of behavioral inhibition.
。
Even when behavior is inhibited, the more that behavior becomes automated, the smaller the role of thinking becomes; however, the degree of inhibition still varies depending on ones way of thinking and the content of ones thoughts.
。
For example, if you keep thinking repeatedly about the opinion you are about to express, sometimes your inhibition gradually weakens, and you become able to speak more relaxedly. On the other hand, the more you think about it, the more it may become associated with negative predictions after speaking, which can make your inhibition even stronger.
。
In this way, even when suppressing actions, thoughts exert a certain influence, even if not to the extent of suggestion.
