I don’t think there’s a singular bad vibe detector though. And even within a narrow type, there’s still multihlevels of threat perception, often paired with expectations vs one’s ability to handle it.

Like, some people have experienced trauma or other bad shit with certain things and get a bad vibe from some stuff, but not other stuff or situations.

And also imagine a manipulative person in a group of, let’s say, ten people. Let’s call them person M (for manipulator). Then there’s person A and person B. Person A sees person M doing shitty stuff, but person A is way smarter than person M and knows they, person A, is gonna shut it down soon. And all of that just fits regular, casual conversation for person A, that isn’t even “shitty”, it’s just an attempt for whatever.

But, person B sitting in the corner only has mild experience with person M’s actions and classifies it as a “bad vibe” and doesn’t know how to handle it very well, and so makes a mental note to poop in person M’s food later.

Person A may be a 900 year old sith CEO and this just isn’t an issue, whereas person B may be a 6 month old drooling wet nosed monkey. Both can notice, but they perceive and handle the situations VERY differently.
