This is where all of your pain, darkness, and every possible problem in your life becomes the most cynical asshole for the rest of your life ~Happiness

As creepy as this shit is, this pretty much sums up how I like to write my stories. Cool and romantic but actual twisted and dark.

Very creative art indeed.

“It hurts to live after someone has died. It just does. It can hurt to walk down a hallway or open the fridge. It hurts to put on a pair of socks, to brush your teeth. Food tastes like nothing. Colors go flat. Music hurts, and so do memories. You look at something you’d otherwise find beautiful–a purple sky at sunset or a playground full of kids–and it only somehow deepens the loss. Grief is so lonely this way.”

–Michelle Obama, Becoming

“Instead of saying ‘I’m damaged, I’m broken, I have trust issues’ say ‘I’m rediscovering myself, I’m starting over.’ Positive self talk.”

Are your cognitive attributions affecting how you see others & yourself? (Pt.1)

What is an attribution?

It’s a mental 🧠 process we use to determine why a behavior has occurred.

2 types of attributions:

Disposition: these are internal factors.

For example: Jason didn’t come to the meeting because he is lazy 🙄.

Situational: these are external factors.

For example: Jason didn’t come to the meeting because he is sick 🤒 .

Types of biases:

Based on those two types of attributions. We can create biased 🤔 conclusions.

1. Fundamental attribution error: we attribute the behavior of others to internal factors (disposition) while minimizing external factors (situational)

For example: Thinking Amanda didn’t come to work because she is lazy. When the truth is she was in a car crash and ended up in the hospital 🏥 due to injuries.

Problem: this type of attribution is unfair to others. We never know what they might be going through. We should give each other the benefit of the doubt before judging.

2. Actor-observer effect: we attribute the behavior of others to internal factors. While attributing our own to situational factors.

For example: Luis didn’t pass the test 📝 because he is lazy & didn’t study, but I didn’t pass it because I had a migraine 🤕.

Problem: not only is this unfair to others, but this attribution can take away our power to control situations. In some cases it can be used as an excuse to dismiss your real behavior in situations.

4. Self-service prejudice: the tendency to attribute internal factors to our success, while attributing external factors to our failures.

For example: I didn’t pass the math class because the teacher 👩‍🏫 was against me, but I did pass music 🎸 because I practiced a lot.

Problem: although situational factors can affect the outcome of a situation. This type of attribution is mostly used to dismiss our own maladaptive behaviors.

We all have used these attributions in our life. It isn’t helpful to attribute external factors to our internal ones. Sure, situational factors in our daily life can & will affect our behavior. But that doesn’t mean we should use it as an excuse for our maladaptive behaviors. It’s okay to take responsibility for our actions. Not only that but, quickly judging others isn’t fair to them either.

Are your cognitive attributions affecting how you see others & yourself? (Pt.2)

Types of biases:

1. Halo effect: here you initially see positive traits in people so you assume they have other ones.

For example: He is handsome so he must be smart.

Problem: you end up creating a false mental picture of someone.

2. Confirmation prejudice: here you have the tendency to pay attention to information that confirm your beliefs.

For example: Looking for evidence to confirm your boyfriend is cheating on you.

Problem: here you look for any piece of information to confirm your belief, even when it has nothing to do with it.

3. Illusory correlation: the belief that two characteristics or events are related to each other.

For example: falling down after seeing a black cat. You end up believing the next time you see a black cat the same thing will happen.

Problem: this type of attribution will affect how you visualize events unfolding.

4. Base rate fallacy: the tendency to trust one piece of evidence and the ignore other facts the disprove your belief.

For example: you read an article that states candy doesn’t increase diabetes, and even though there are many more articles that say the contrary. You decide to pick the false one.

Problem: this attribution will affect your reality. Accepting false information or twisting it to fit your mental schemes is detrimental to you.

Dr. David Scheel, a marine biologist, films this octopus changing colors while resting and it’s spectacular. Several articles on the internet speculate that this octopus was dreaming. Octopuses typically activate their camouflage superpowers in response to changing conditions around them. So, does this video of a resting octopus’ color display mean that it’s dreaming about something? Maybe. Even though research into cephalopod sleep and dreaming has grown quite a bit over the years, there still isn’t enough evidence to say for sure if they dream the way we do. (Source)
