We make all sorts of assumptions because we don’t have the courage to ask questions.
These assumptions are made so fast and unconsciously most of the time because we have agreements to communicate this way.
We have agreed that it is not safe to ask questions; we have agreed that if people love us, they should know what we want or how we feel.
When we believe something, we assume we are right about it to the point that we will destroy relationships in order to defend our position.
We make the assumption that everyone sees life the way we do.
We assume that others think the way we think, feel the way we feel, judge the way we judge, and abuse the way we abuse.
This is the biggest assumption that humans make. And this is why we have a fear of being ourselves around others.
Because we think everyone else will judge us, victimize us, abuse us, and blame us as we do ourselves.
So even before others have a chance to reject us, we have already rejected ourselves.
That is the way the human mind works. We also make assumptions about ourselves, and this creates a lot of inner conflict.
“I think I am able to do this.” You make this assumption, for instance, then you discover you aren’t able to do it.
You overestimate or underestimate yourself because you haven’t taken the time to ask yourself questions and to answer them.
