People who actually want to help will let you refuse them. People who want to leech money from you won’t take no for an answer. In my life,it’s always been a scam.

Personal history creates our emotional reactions. That doesn’t change the logic.
Being widely recomended doesn’t equate to being bad, no matter your personal experience. Lots of great things are widely recomendated.

Lol so we’re not supposed to filter our lives through our past experiences? I let go of this apple, but since I can’t judge it against my historical experience, it might not fall to the ground!

It wouldn’t be good to assume that, if apples fall up all the time also. In that world it would bad to use your personal experience of aples always falling as the benchmark.
But since in our reality, nobody anywhere has seen an apple fall a direction other than the pull of gravity. In that situation where your personal experience lines with everyone elses also, you aren’t just using your experience you’re using everyone’s. That’s a good reason to believe the apple will fall to the ground.
