And therein lies your difficulty, I think. As you state just after this, you have over the past few years dealt with powerful personal revelations and adjustments, and those are informing how you interact with and interpret everything you read. From what you're saying, it sounds to me as though you have become not so much "starkly aware of" the baseline, implicit assumptions and beliefs of others, as you have become oversensitive to them. Like night-vision that you just can not turn off, even when having it on isn't practical.
