Today we look at the psychological aspect of Magical Thinking and the role it plays in the introspection illusion of social influence.
Explaining perhaps why the idea of social influence is based in naive realism. And how the focusing effect leads to foundational attribution errors, observation discrepancies and various forms of subjective biases .
-And how our need to find fulfillment in the external validations of others often leaves us feeling unhappy.
Our intention is to establish the role our self concepts play in forming how we connect and relate to the world around us. Are these patterns rooted in one's sensing of internal identity conflicts and underlying insecurities; rather than an aware, informed and empowered sense of volition and authentic self concept?
In a social age, creating a powerful public persona is no longer a choice. Those who master the art and science of attraction leap out from the crowd, amass large followings, create lucrative businesses around their knowledge and personalities, and enjoy lifestyles of fulfillment and contribution. Those who don’t; are seen as somehow falling behind - a lesser voice in a faceless crowd. This group is about breaking through the noise and transforming yourself, your ideas, your message, story and expertise into a brilliant business and life that you absolutely love.
We examine the role our social illusions and raised constructs play in our social interactions. Not only do we measure ourselves by this false yardstick - we do it to evaluate and judge others as well. "It’s not about ego—it's about evolving into the person you always thought you would be—now, instead of some day; and making a profound difference in the world."

-What makes storytelling so effective for gaining insight and effective learning?
A story is in many ways believed to establish connections, both between people and ideas.
Stories convey culture, history, and values. They are felt to unite people. Often helping us see things in a new light. They help us to understand others and ourselves. Storytelling can often be a powerful force for creating a sense of place. This ability to learn from stories is a skill that keeps us focused as curious students throughout life…
Yet there exists an often overlooked, and sometimes darker side of story - One from which we form our biases and more narrowed judgements. In so doing, they become an altogether different form of reality. This is perhaps nowhere more evident than in our social personas.
This is the story being examined today, as we explore the role our social personas play on our perceptions of reality.

Leigh Hearl had a secret.
A secret which filled her with guilt and shame… A secret, which nearly killed her. As we’ll soon find out - speaking her truth not only liberated her from this guilt and shame — It saved her life. You see, Leigh was living with the burden of discovering her husband had been living a hidden double life.
As she clung to his secret, her husband becoming emotionally abusive.Riddled with the guilt and shame - it devastated Leigh. Leaving her feeling hopeless and immobilized.
In an effort to numb herself and block her painful suffering - she shut out the world, closing the doors where others might have learned of her story and offered her compassion and loving support. Society often tells us, learn to bite your tongue - to repress what it is we feel inside. And Sometimes, as we shut out the world - important stories go untold.

We lean in today, looking ay what it means to be neurodivergant - and exploring how both as a community and a society - we embrace these beautiful differences in our brains.
As we develop new paradigms - this task often requires a new language addressing it - this case can certainly be made as we approach the neurodiversity paradigm. We do this, perhaps, by seeking to understand the entire 'picture' of the neurodiverse experience - of what, where, when, how, why, and who....Then we can see where society needs to fill the gaps.
The way we see things in life is often filtered by both the scope of our vision and the lens of our past experiences. Often turning into polarizing and hurtful biases.Under-appreciating the value of these differences often making it difficult for those who experience neurodiverisity to feel seen, heard, and accepted.

Chances are there is someone you have difficulty getting along with every day. Build rapport and getting along feels like a stretch of your time and energy.
