You still might think that's easy to see through and some people are better at picking up on warning flags and others. I think it's important to keep in mind that everything in real life is much more humanized than when we talk about 'em. For example, we're raised to believe that drugs are awful. It's pretty much brainwashed into us. *flashbacks to health class* You're at a party, the lights are blaring and someone comes up to you and goes, "Hey kid... wanna do a drug?" (epic time slowing noises) Time slows down.. The cigarette is glowing with evil energy... You look up and all of a sudden they've grown horns and fangs and OH MY GOD IT'S SATAN! No, it's not what happens. (yes it is) Realistically, you'd be at a small get-together with close friends. You've had a nice night with them so far. Laughing and having a good time just like normal. One of them just takes out a little sandwich baggie and it's like, "Hey, I've got coke." There's no time slow-mo, or sirens It's a completely normal feeling situation and all of a sudden your brain is confused. "Drugs are bad, but this is my friend." "We've known each other since fifth grade. He's just a normal dude."
