Fallacy of change

Thinking trap quiz

What’s going on:

This is when we think our happiness depends on the actions of others. The fallacy of change also assumes that other people should change to suit us automatically and/or that it is fair to pressure them to change.

Example:

If my partner/boyfriend/girlfriend would only start to change everything would be good between us!” “Until they show me they love me I will never be worth anything

Replace with:

But our happiness depends on us, on each of the decisions we make. No one else can fulfil us.
