Recently I saw that it is said to be a psychologist, listing some common cognitive biases, two of which are thought-provoking. Let me share it with you today.
The first type is " simple realism ".
means that people always believe that they are in control of the truth, others are irrational, and some cognitions are even biased, and only they are right.
Whenever you encounter a problem, you always look at and do things from your own perspective. No matter what others think or do.
Of course, this is because people will naturally do it according to their own experience.
But if others have pointed out the problem and you still act on your own mistakes, you will definitely pay the price in the end.
The second type is " simple cynicism ".
simplicity means that people always think that they are more objective and others are too subjective, so they should be centered on themselves.
people’s experience is definitely limited. However, in people's thinking, they always think that their words and deeds are more objective.
Others should do things according to their own requirements. It is said above, you should be centered on yourself.
However, this perception is not necessarily correct, especially in this complex and changeable era, which changes too quickly. Where is there any absolute truth?
The above two cognitive biases will make us often keen on correcting others.
If others listen to you, it’s okay to do things well. If you don't do it well, you will blame you in turn. Unless someone asks you for advice, you can teach others.
If others don’t listen to you, you will still rush to teach others. If others don’t appreciate it, you will also be sulky.
Instead of being a "teacher", it is better to restrain your desire to teach people how to do things and learn to respect other people's ideas and practices. Only in this way can we achieve each other and get what we want.
Understand that you often have the two cognitive biases mentioned above, that is, you will also have flaws in your cognition. Compared to changing others, what you should do is change yourself.
Thank you for your attention, I hope it will be helpful to you!
