I'm trying. I'm not entirely sure what the "black and white thinking" entails, especially since I've been more open to things lately.
And yeah, one woman's opinion isn't the same as all women's opinion. I get that. Jeez.
I'll try to describe sort of what I see when you get called out for things like this.
Example:
You read in a book, or online that 2+2 does NOT equal 3. So you insist that 2+2 = 5, because of the fact that 10-5 = 5. Your experience demonstrates that 10-5=5, and you take that to mean 2+2 also = 5. Your experience with mathematical formulas have shown you that 5 is the correct answer. So you insist that other mathematical formulas also have 5 as the correct answer, because that is fact in your mind. Other possibilities are closed to your mind because your experience is the only possibility you can see.
I know what I described is really abstract, but I'll try to make you aware of this when I see it next time.
Thank you for explaining that. I think I see what you mean.
Likewise, when I consider that 2+2 might not equal 5, I assume that I must also be wrong about 10-5=5, and go into a frenzy trying to find what is true.
It's a form of self doubt. but a good pattern to be aware of, so thank you.
