Can You Say Bad Assumptions?

in #life4 years ago

Bad Assumptions are things that you make in an attempt to impress other people. They include everything from making somebody feel good, to making people like you or feel bad about themselves. Examples of these bad assumptions are: you're walking down the street, and you hear somebody saying, "So nice to see you" and then you glance away and make it sound like you really didn't like them at all. Or you make it sound, "Was that fly open?" or "was talking too loudly on a cell phone?"


In addition to these, we can also make false statements and even put out there that things aren't true. For example, you could say, "I know there are people in the road today, but I can't seem to get past them. Please let me pass through."

Bad Assumptions can be a double edged sword, as well. If you have made a statement like this, chances are you are very confident about it, and in that case, you would probably be very careful not to say anything too inflammatory.

However, if you've made a false statement that you've been trying to prove is true, there's a chance that you would be very quick to say it's not true. I'm not saying to just say, "I don't think this is true" or "there's no way someone could do this." What I'm saying is that you'd likely be very careful about how you're worded your statements. If you have made a statement and it's completely true, you'd be quick to correct the statement and change the information that's incorrect in it to prove it.

There are some ways to avoid making too many false statements, though. For example, you could try using a more neutral word such as "possibly," "maybe," or "possibly" in conjunction with an event. This will give you a much higher probability of coming across as sounding less inflammatory.

Bad assumptions can come from many different reasons. Some examples of this include; assuming that people are always going to tell you they're in the right, assuming that they're right, assuming that you know someone better than you do, assuming that you can get past an obstacle, assuming that you can find what you're looking for, assuming that everyone is going to be the same, and think alike, assuming that you can trust your intuition, assuming that people won't judge you on looks alone, and so much more. I don't think any of these are the worst bad assumptions, but all of them are very common and therefore, they all make up a large part of people's language.

In my opinion, it's OK to say some of these things, but that it's not a good thing to say them all the time. The problem is, when you're doing this, you're not thinking about what you're saying. You're just saying what you think you want to say. So when someone's hearing those bad comments, you're just being very defensive and not thinking about what they might be thinking. So when they're offended by it, you're also hurting them by denying them their feelings or not listening to them.


To avoid this, you need to think before you say these bad assumptions. You should think twice before saying anything and look for things that might make you look bad or make you look like a fool. You should be sure to think about what you say, but only after you've said what you think you're going to say. In this way, your words will help others and they'll think you're a good listener and not a liar.
