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.
