Preparing your mental wellness content
Breaking down false beliefs and generalizations we hold about people, situations, and ourselves.
Believing everyone is watching and judging you, when actually they're too busy thinking about themselves.
Your brain looks for proof that you're right and ignores proof that you're wrong.
You can spot biases and mistakes in others instantly, but somehow miss your own. It's not about intelligence - your brain is literally designed to have blind spots for self-awareness.
When your parents say "kids these days," it's not random criticism. They literally grew up in a different psychological reality, and their brains are wired by experiences you've never had.
You think your parents are being unreasonable, but from their perspective, they're desperately trying to protect you from dangers you don't see. Understanding their viewpoint doesn't mean agreeing - but it makes communication possible.
When you fail repeatedly at something, your brain learns a dangerous lesson: "Why try? I'll just fail anyway." It's called learned helplessness, and it can trap you in underachievement.
