Understanding Your Mind's Misjudgments

Your brain is actively gaslighting you every single day. Social psychology proves that what

you think is reality is actually just a bunch of mental shortcuts called heuristics.

You judge people within seconds based on thin slicing, and when someone cuts you off in

traffic, you immediately assume they’re a jerk rather than thinking they might

have an emergency. That is the fundamental attribution error. It gets even wilder with mental health

because the line between normal and abnormal is completely subjective. Anxiety isn't a

glitch, it's a survival tool that’s just working overtime. You aren't broken,

you are just running ancient software in a modern world.
