[QUOTE="goldfritter, post: 1141309, member: 23412"] It's a stretch to say "make up what you're hearing." As I said in a previous post, nobody is lying about what they are experiencing. Their experience is just coloured by expectations. It's the same principle as "rose tinted glasses;" the effect of nostalgia on memories of the past; being more likely to find someone funny or clever when you're in love with them; judging the actions of your family a bit differently to how you judge strangers; evaluating the reasonableness of an argument of someone on the same side of the political spectrum as you vs. someone on the opposite side - etc. One is more likely to experience an event positively if one goes into it expecting one would have a positive experience. (And same the other way around). If you managed to avoid confirmation bias when you walked into the showroom, then well done. Lots of people struggle with that. [/QUOTE]
