Received a security guide, the intention is definitely good. But how to say it, I actually feel more nervous after reading it😅

This matter is quite interesting—originally wanted to feel at ease, but ended up being more scared and uneasy. It seems there is a delicate balance between security education and user anxiety. Too many reminders make it seem like risks are everywhere, too few and you're afraid something might happen.

What do you all think? Do these kinds of alerts make you feel reassured, or do you react like me and overthink?

This is the kind of thing that gets more exhausting the more you look at it. I just wanted to learn a little, but now my mind is full of holes.

Haha, this is a typical case of "reminder backlash." Watching it unfold, I even got scared myself. Safety guidelines are like opening Pandora's box; the risks you didn't know before are now all revealed. Instead of worrying, it's better to do more research. Being well-prepared is more reassuring than just reading these warnings. Web3 is like this—risks are indeed higher, but it's not that scary. It really feels like the safety education messaging needs to be improved; otherwise, it might actually undermine user confidence.

theoretically speaking, security guidelines are just recursive vulnerability proofs—the more you read, the more attack vectors materialize in your mind. it's like unrolling a ZK circuit, each layer reveals another potential exploit waiting beneath. ngl this is the blockchain trilemma of user experience: safety vs. simplicity vs. sanity 💭

After reading the safety guidelines, my mindset collapsed. This feeling is incredible. --- Rather than scaring people, it's better to teach some real skills. This current approach is having a counterproductive effect. --- Haha, I feel the same. The more I read, the more I think there are vulnerabilities everywhere. --- Security education is a dilemma. The more you talk about it, the more everyone becomes anxious. --- I actually hope they remind more. Anyway, we all have to be cautious. --- It's like the instruction manual before getting vaccinated. Reading it makes you more anxious than not reading it. --- Peace of mind? Laughing to death. Who can still be at ease now? --- Too many reminders = a covert admission that risks are high. This logic is flawless. --- It's really just to make people alert. The side effect is becoming overly cautious. --- It's better to explain clearly in plain language what to do, instead of using those scary tactics.

Constant exposure to these safety tips can actually make you paranoid, but on the other hand, caution is still necessary where it’s needed. --- That’s why I never read those lengthy security guidelines; reading them only makes me more anxious. --- The paradox of security education is like this: the more you guard, the more you feel like there are traps everywhere. --- Honestly, the most annoying part of these tips is that they create a sense of panic, which makes you more prone to mistakes. --- My approach is to scan for keywords and then pretend I didn’t see anything; managing your mindset is important. --- The problem is, these messages are inherently designed to scare people. How can they possibly make you feel at ease? --- Instead of being terrified, it’s better to learn a few operations for hard wallets directly—it's more effective than reading a hundred guides.

Security guidelines are like a double-edged sword, intimidatingly fierce. After reading it once, I actually want to withdraw liquidity more, haha. Finding that balance point is really difficult; talking too much about it just becomes FUD. I understand how you feel; I often feel the same way. Rather than panicking blindly, it's better to play it safe and operate cautiously.
