We all behave in ways that just don’t make sense, especially when we’re triggered and our buttons are pushed. But our brains start to get a little twitchy when things seem random or unpredictable; they prefer predictability, not chaos. This is why even an inaccurate story can seem better than no story at all. When we don’t have a clue about what just happened or what might happen next, we grasp (often without realizing it) at any available information to explain and understand the situation.
