I mean, we all hear about people thinking what they think only because the people around them think it too. So how do you avoid doing that?

There is the theory that we feel emotions first and then we think only to justify the emotion.
This would imply that it isn’t the thinking that needs to be managed but the emotions.
We’re human beings, not machines. Emotions are good, actually.
Emotions aren’t good (or bad). They’re often like a heuristic. Fast but inaccurate. This is great when it’s like “a bear wandered into the house” and emotions say “RUN” and cold logic would be like “what? Why? How?” until you get mauled. It’s not good when it’s like “climate change makes me feel bad so I don’t believe in it”
That’s a very fancy word, and I’m sure you’re proud of using it.
Now can you tell me how this word has importance in your everyday life?
It comes up in software development sometimes, which is my day to day. It also is useful for any “fast but inaccurate approach” scenario, which comes up sometimes.
I wouldn’t say I’m proud of using it. It was already in my lexicon. (So was “lexicon”)

Why do you ask?
Although some feelings are malleable through thinking, but yeah, others come from (and can only be worked by) different places (including the health of our body).
