The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which “people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it”. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than in actuality; by contrast, the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to a perverse result where less competent people will rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. “Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others.”
i have much doubt in my mind about my own thoughts. i was not like this before.
i can't always doubt everything and think of all sides all the time. you have to pick one, preferably yours and what you feel and believe. let the other thoughts doubt and second guess, but stick to who you are. understand the positions and where you are. stand up for what you believe in and be you. even if its different from what you think is supposed to be right.
im listening to a song by stephen marley 'you're gonna leave' its beautiful. there is something about it. its sad though.
self worth is underestimated. why have we taken on the feelings of others to be dependent on how we respond to them? that is a lot of pressure. and we will never be able to make everybody happy. thus, in these minuscule failures (knowing we hurt others with our actions), perhaps in these self worth decreases ::point or mere rambles?:: people will respond how they want to. this cannot be controlled. but one can control how one reacts to the situation at hand. one cannot take guilt for this every time ::edit::
i cannot continue. a bit stoned, and i need to drive to a student.
it is so fucking beautiful outside.
from now on, positive thinking. get back to your roots and who you were.
start taking pictures.
everyone, right now, do something that makes you happy.
im going to locate my ipod and drive *this will be wonderful*
much love.
