social love

(n.) - REFUNCTION

The act of prioritizing a desirable response to another's need as being as important or more important than one's own need(s), at least in the moment, to set the inspiring standard for others to prioritize a desirable response to one's own needs.

strategic pain relief

(n.) - REFUNCTION

A refunction of momentarily easing the intense discomfort of unresolved need with the intent to get back to facing the pain in order to resolve the need, with the long-term anticipation to remove the cause of that pain. Exists in contrast to the widespread norms of passive-aggressive pain relief and reactive pain relief. See easement orientation.  See discomfort avoidance and discomfort embrace.

supportive bias

(n.) - REFUNCTION

The refunction of prioritizing resolution of unchosen needs, to remove cause for cognitive distortions and improve the level of functioning. This can lower the risk of confirmation bias and other problematic biases. Anankelogy defines bias as prioritizing to ease need.

The more resolved the needs of the observer of phenomena, the less of a pull to cherry-pick what their unresolved needs would urge them to prioritize. The more your bias prioritizes the full resolution of needs, the more you will prioritize seeking the full breadth and depth of reality.

symfunction

(n.) A less-than-optimal level of functioning that prioritizes easing needs to adequate levels,  or resolving needs only partially, largely with impersonal support from others. Sits lower than peakfunction but higher than dysfunction.
