Mind traps, how to protect yourself: Beware of these three
Ka kurthe mendore që mund të na lëndojnë. Shumicën e kohës ne besojmë se veprimet dhe sjelljet tona përcaktohen nga logjika dhe mendja jonë racionale. Ne shpesh biem pre e stereotipeve dhe etiketimeve dhe truri i çdo personi përpiqet të ruajë burimet, gjë që përfundimisht çon në disa shtrembërime njohëse që e bëjnë jetën tonë më pak të këndshme.

Beware of these mental traps.
1. Mind reading
This cognitive distortion can probably be seen in most families. We often believe we know what others think of us. And we are often sure that they are thinking about something bad. And the worst part is that if we don't stop these thoughts in time, we can start acting in a certain way to make people love us, which will eventually lead to the opposite result. When we give in to these ideas, we are more likely to draw the wrong conclusions about people and their motivations. In these situations we are more anxious, which leads to exhaustion.
2. Self-criticism
Self-criticism isn't always good for you, it's an underrated mental trap. It only leads to guilt and other psychological problems. Self-criticism is nothing but a sign of low self-esteem. Negative internal dialogue is also the protagonist of another cognitive distortion, negative filtering, which makes us ignore all the positive information about a situation and makes us focus on the bad things.
3. Effect of false consent
The false consent effect is when we think that most people share our opinion. We often say things like "Everyone does" or "Most people live this way", even if there is no statistical data to back it up.
