Aesthetic discernment and knowing quality when you see it
You can tell something is beautiful, but you can't explain why. You follow trends because you don't trust your own judgment. Your environment doesn't reflect who you actually are.
Taste isn't innate. It's learned. And you haven't learned it yet.
