…think happy thoughts

The power of perception is nothing to be scoffed, and now there’s a study to back it up.  

We determine the way the world sees us. Okay, that on its own is not particularly surprising, but the psychology behind it is.

Essentially if you go around assuming that no one likes you, eventually that will become true. Shockingly most people aren’t huge fans of self-pity.

Of course, if you’re a jerk who believes that everyone likes you, that won’t necessarily make it true. However, all of you paranoid mopers who skulk around assuming that everyone hates you, congratulations, you’re probably right!

It’s a reality that was in fact created by your own delusions (isn’t that interesting), but point is, in the end you were correct. Enjoy the validation.

You create your own reality (within reason sci-fi fans), why not make it a happy one.
