From confirmation bias to false consensus, here are a few types of cognitive biases that project a false perception of reality.
Negative cognitive bias: When we start to see ourselves as someone very negative, we also tend to grow a lot of bitterness for the world around us. This further causes distorted thinking patterns.
Confirmation bias: This is when we try to remember information that confirms our thoughts and decisions. This helps us to strengthen our case.
Self-serving bias: In the case of self-serving bias, we like to believe that our failures happened because of our situations, but our successes happened because of who we are.
Availability heuristic: The examples that immediately come to our mind, further shape the judgments and the decisions we make.
Naïve realism: In this case of cognitive bias, we like to believe that our version of reality is objective in nature, while others are uninformed or irrational.
False consensus: In this type of cognitive bias, we always believe that people like and agree with what we think and believe.
