After looking at the fallacies the two that really stood out to me was Taking responsibility for others, and Fear of catastrophic failure. Taking responsibility for others stood out to me because I always feel like how people feel is because of me. However it is easy to blame someone else for your emotions people need take responsibility for their own feelings. I need to learn how to not feel like I am the problem by letting others deal with their own emotions. Also I chose fear of catastrophic events because I often get scared when I have to do something that could have a big effect. I let my emotions choose my actions and unable to sometime do things because how I feel about it. For example when I count the safe at my job I have a fear of doing something wrong and cause my job a lot of financial problems. However I am capable to do my job correctly I always find myself thinking what if. I need to learn to self-talk good things more when I have this fear to control my emotions.
I agree with you and what you say about taking responsibility for others because I feel the same way and also how I fear somethings that have big effects on me, but sometimes I believe you need to do it in order to live your life, and to grow up at the same time. Lately I've tried to change how I am because before I've let my emotions choose my actions just like you, but lately I've been not letting that get in my head and just do things in order to get out of the fear of doing things. Some things like what you said about counting money, I believe is okay because you don't want to get in trouble and have a bad record over a miscount, but for other things like fear of speaking up, fear of doing things, is different. I understand how you feel and agree with what you say. We all go through the same types of fallacy's but we try to learn and overcome it. It is what makes us better communicators and people.
ReplyDeleteI definitely know what you mean when you say that we as people blame our emotions on others. We refuse to accept responsibility for reacting the way we do to certain situations when in reality that's exactly what we should be doing. We often act inappropriately towards other peoples communication which puts us in a position in which we feel that it is the other persons fault for making us feel that way when in reality we are just reacting to that experience because of a previous experience that we have had to encounter.
