To the person with Juvenile like mentality or senior most employee with sophistication, it’s never too easy

to cope up with the workplace environment sometimes. One of the major reasons being False-consensus
bias, wherein we think that our own opinions, standards, attitudes, beliefs stand head and shoulders above
the rest because of the commonalty and appropriateness, so that others must also feel the same way. Since
our attention is a limited resource which we focus on and can't possibly evaluate each and every detail in
forming our thoughts and opinions, we feel there is ample room for these biases to enter our thought
process and affect our decisions. What we don’t realize is we often don’t share the common thoughts or
interests that match with the person surrounding us but just because of the fact that we are majorly occupied
by family and friends, we end up thinking that all these people are on the same page which not only lead us
to incorrectly think that everyone else agrees with us, it also sometimes lead us to overvalue our own
opinions. And, this would rather trip us up so easily into believing that other people are just like us, thus,
leading to build up our self-esteem in a wrong way. Because of the same effect, we pertain to oscillate
between the feelings as though we have a grandiose, god-like purpose on Earth, or we are one of the most
disgusting, unworthy beings to ever exist as doing something different from everyone else will have you
berated, so better to fit in (please don’t fall into any of these extremities as it is going to create chaos, thus
sabotaging our inner-self).

Through this I would also like to quote few examples of different cognitive biases that have a powerful
influence on how you think, how you feel, and how you behave; as the way we perceive others and how
we attribute their actions junctures on a variety of variables, but it can be heavily influenced by whether
we are the actor or the observer in a situation.
For an instance, when it comes to our own actions, we are often far too likely to feature things to external
influences. You might complain that you bungled up an important meeting or a task because of jet lag or
constituting something as a Family Emergency or that you failed an exam because the teacher posed too
many trick questions.
On the contrary, when it comes to explaining other people’s actions to a third person, we are more likely
to attribute their behaviors to internal causes. So, we generally end up saying, so-and-so colleague has
screwed up an important presentation because he is lazy and incompetent (not because he also had jet
lag) and a fellow student bombed a test because he lacks diligence and intelligence (and not because he
took the same test as you with all those trick questions).
Also, you feel that someone who is doing drugs would be a bad influence on his friends as they could be in
danger of falling victim to the same self-destructive pattern of behavior. But, if it’s in your case, being a
drug dealer, you can never think of someone getting influenced by your wrongdoing as you feel it’s their
individual freedom of choosing things.
So, one must not always think or give rise to a negative thinking without any proper justification.

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

Let’s also discuss about the people who never refuses or denies to agree with you on terms even if they
don’t feel like doing it sometimes. That is because of lack of individuality and confidence which continually
is evoking them to feel that when they try to communicate (even in a casual way) with others something
goes astray. They say one thing, the other person hears something else, because of which
misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue.
Also, the people who would get hurt with petty things, one must be aware of not having any Verbal slip-
ups occurring often because we say things without knowledge of the subtle implications they carry. Let’s
try to understand these implications requires social awareness and the ability to pick up on the emotions
and experiences of other people.

So, do you agree and if yes, what’s your take on this?
