Add illustory superioriy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority to My-side bias
For instance, our affective forecasts (predictions of how others, or our later selves, feel) are subject to focusing illusions, where we overweight the importance of easy-to-visualise details, and immune neglect, where we forget that we will adapt to some things and not others, amongst other biases (Gilbert and Wilson 2007).
Pickling in decision distortion
Example I was thinkning on how long I need to stay in/out of US, living. Than saw that I actually shouldn’t do such long breaks. That this may have impact. But bc it was over such a long time I disbelief it. I don’t want to act on it. Because all this process is so slow, almost I cannot influence it.
If the process takes long time you won’t wanna act to influence it positively, bc it’s kind of unreal. And probably a plethora of rationalizations, my-side biases turns on to act against the right decision
