The lies we tell ourselves overview #1

I've been writing a series on steem called "The Lies We Tell Ourselves" for about a year now.

Psychology has always fascinated me, especially when it's related to aspects of our nature that disturb our perception of reality or cause us to act in illogical ways.

There are now 13 articles in the series and I thought it apt to write an overview post in case some new readers missed the old content:

• the fear of missing out (fomo)
• the Google effect
• the bystander effect
• the just-world fallacy
• the cheerleader effect
• the hindsight bias
• the authority bias
• the halo effect
• the gambler's fallacy
• the sunk cost fallacy
• the framing effect
• cognitive dissonance
• confirmation bias

It's been hard to contribute to steem lately. I hope to cover this in another post soon. This will also shed some light on why I've powered down almost all my steem power. All I can say for now is, every upvote means a lot to me.
