This tendency was born from trauma. I wanted to know how things worked so that I could try to stop them from hurting and scaring me.

Now it's just a habit that has served me quite well, but I'm more frequently side-eyeing, wondering whether to double down and try to use it in career/life, or whether to actively stop, in case its blocking something else, or even hurting me

I wonder if all people looking at the inner workings of things are like this. Like, if you just 'naturally and effortlessly' get what you want, socially and not only, why invest the effort to begin with?

Indeed! The trauma engine is a fiery engine. I feel like lack of trauma correlates with not knowing tons about how things work which also correlates with wellbeing. I'm sorta weirded out by it, but basically always decide it's better for them to be content and leave them be.
