Most psychological experiments make me question the very need of the study.
Do people lie to themselves? YES!
Do we know we do this? YES!
Is it beneficial? the jury is still out on that one.
here is a study that proves people lie to themselves.
what this study suggests is that for many people self-deception is as easy as pie. Not only will many people happily lie to themselves if given a reason, but they will only look for evidence that confirms their comforting self-deception, and then totally believe in the lies they are telling themselves.If you read the whole thing, I would bet you would agree that its not that bad as made out to be.sometimes telling yourself you can do more than you can actually do maybe good. maybe a little of that positive thinking is also lying. the reality does not exist yet and you are trying to create it and talk about it as if it already is.
my final thing on this. go ahead and lie to yourself if it succeeds in pushing you further, just don't fool yourself into thinking you never did lie!
