The Curse: Logical indicators in everyday conversations

Inactive Sage Inactive ⭐
I've been cursed by your wizardry, @"J.Y. Ping".
Walking around with my attorney friend yesterday discussing a trial (I'm also her legal assistant), the curse began to take effect:
Words like "unless," "until," "the only," "without": they triggered a response in my mind that went like this: "Negate, make sufficient ... Unless he provides X, we have grounds for Y." This was the case for all logical indicators uttered in conversation. This has continued to be the case today. This is both uncanny (lit. "unheimlich") and amazing.
Anyone else have experience with this ... I'm alarmed to see what was previously such a foreign concept to me suddenly appear as being ingrained as automatic behavior. This is both thrilling and disturbing (but in a way I really like).

I was at Subway last night and the guy in front of me said I'll take a Roast Beef sub without pickles, I immediately just thought of negate sufficient.
