RE: Cognitive Dissonance: Rejecting Reality Because We Don't Like How it Feels

in #psychology7 years ago

I notice this in everyday conversations. People tend to side step or flat out reject topics they know will contradict their internal beliefs knowing they are either right or wrong. It's interesting to think about how deeply this affects us aside from the emotional cues. I opt to use it as a positive process. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah... it's powerful. Good to hear you use it as a positive :)
