Compartmentalization

What is compartmentalization? As defined online: diving into sections or categories; is a subconscious psychological defense mechanism used to avoid cognitive dissonance, on the mental discomfort and anxiety caused by a person having conflicting values, cognition, emotions, beliefs, etc., with themselves.

Compartmentalization is just your brain allowing both ideas to coexist within your pyschie. Basically causing internal direct and explicitly acknowledgement and interaction between separate self states.

These people who suffer with BPD divide people into Good and Bad to avoid conflicts. Removing the compartments. They use Denial or indifference to protect against any indication of contractors evidence.

Using indifference towards a better viewpoint is “normal” but for someone use to using multiple compartments ideals. Having had to modify to be uncomfortable, at the risk of being found incorrect can cause double standards and bias.

Conflicting social identities may be dealt with compartmentalize them and dealing with each only in a context dependent way.

Confirmation Bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information, ina way that confirms or supports one’s prior beliefs or Values.

Context dependency is tired along with memory targets; the context can therefore cue memories containing that contextual information.
