Confirmed Negativity Condition, CNC, is the endgame of negative subjectivity interpretation. It causes the victim to translate every comment made, somehow, as a negative reflection on himself. The victim assumes blame for every possible word or event, no matter how unrelated. This hypercritical subjectivity is the cumulative result of the perception of the need for self-denial over an entire lifetime to the point of manifestation. It appears to begin with an ultra-sensitive predisposition in the individual and leads, ultimately, to his race to prevent every disaster, seen, unforeseen, or imagined, that could possibly happen to any and all of humankind. The symptoms of CNC present themselves in numerous ways, always against the host individual.

CNC sufferers are caught in an internal struggle, which is often expressed as a dialogue between the “Actual Mind” and the “Negative Mind.”

The Actual Mind is a positive force. It is the mind of the sufferer before the development of CNC, and it is the mind that will remain once CNC is reversed. It is the healthy mind. The Actual Mind is who the sufferer would have been had CNC been averted and emotional development not been arrested. The Actual Mind consists of normal reactions to everyday events.

The Negative Mind is the imposter mind. It becomes the tool of CNC. It is the enforcer. It preys on the host whose wonderful potential lies hidden under the façade of often inexplicable behavior. Like a parasite that attempts to consume the Actual Mind, it feeds off the host and can seem to obliterate his true gentle nature. As the Negative Mind becomes more entrenched, the naturally caring victim behaves like his antithesis. While placating the Negative Mind, the sufferer’s bizarre behavior serves to isolate him and can alienate family and friends.

Often the host of CNC is caught in the crossfire between the Negative and Actual Minds. With this continual bargaining and with the domination of the Negative Mind, the Actual Mind relinquishes its place progressively, diminishing over time. Even though the Negative Mind is extremely domineering, at no point is the victim entirely without his Actual Mind. He is merely without most of its power.
