According to psychology, if you always feel like people don't really like you, it's probably not because they don't. It's
because you subconsciously filter out
the evidence that they do. It's called social hyper-vigilance. Usually, it comes from being bullied, never fully fitting in or
growing up in constant Criticism. Your brain learned to look for rejection before
connection.
The real story is the Phoebus cartel, formed in 1924 by major light-bulb manufacturers, including companies tied to Osram, Philips, General Electric interests, Compagnie des Lampes, and others. They coordinated the global incandescent bulb market and pushed a standard bulb life of about 1,000 hours, even though bulbs lasting 1,500 to 2,000 hours had been common before.
