At what point does a “feeling” become a pattern?
Let me start from the builder’s side:
One of the reasons I built Besty is that I kept thinking about how often people say things like:
“I knew from the beginning.”
“Something felt off.”
“This person felt familiar.”
“I can’t explain it, but I felt comfortable.”
Most of us have had that experience with people. Sometimes with places too.
The hard part is this:
a single feeling can be random,
but after enough experiences, it may stop being random and start looking like a pattern.
That’s the part I became interested in.
Besty is my attempt to make that more visible.
You save yourself, the people you didn’t get along with, and the people you get along with best.
Then, when you scan new faces, you start seeing similarity scores against those personal reference points.
The real question for me is not whether one score is “right.”
It’s whether repeated results across many people start revealing something real about your own pattern.
So I’m curious how other people think about this:
At what point do repeated first impressions stop being just feelings and start becoming a recognizable pattern?
