Ayo, what up? First of all, that terminology is kinda HEAVY & so let's define what it means before WE get int today's article & so here WE go.


Cognitive dissonance is the term used in modern psychology to describe the feeling of discomfort when holding two or more conflicting cognitions (e.g., ideas, beliefs, values, emotional reactions) simultaneously. In a state of dissonance, people may sometimes feel surprise, dread, guilt, anger, or embarrassment.[1] The theory of cognitive dissonance in social psychology proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by altering existing cognitions, adding new ones to create a consistent belief system, or alternatively by reducing the importance of any one of the dissonant elements.[1] It is the distressing mental state that people feel when they "find themselves doing things that don't fit with what they know, or having opinions that do not fit with other opinions they hold." [2] A key assumption is that people want their expectations to meet reality, creating a sense of equilibrium. [3]


Examples

A classic illustration of cognitive dissonance is expressed in the fable The Fox and the Grapes by Aesop (ca. 620–564 BCE). In the story, a fox sees some high-hanging grapes and wishes to eat them. When the fox is unable to think of a way to reach them, he decides that the grapes are probably not worth eating, with the justification the grapes probably are not ripe or that they are sour (hence the common phrase "sour grapes"). This example follows a pattern: one desires something, finds it unattainable, and reduces one's dissonance by criticizing it.Jon Elster calls this pattern "adaptive preference formation".[18]


So basically that's the definition so that all y'all know where I'm comin from. If ya wanna pick at the reason as to why I'm talkin about this now is bcuz so many of US are TIRED & don't know what to do & therefore, LASH OUT at OUR LOVED 1's not knowin why & this is absolutely KILLIN US! WE at a very CRUCIAL POINT & all of US ain't gonna make it so GET YO MIND RIGHT! As this 1 is very personal, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION & see if any of this is you!

Yea, so THEY still got plenty of COCAINE on sale so go on & keep sniffin it. That SHIT is 30% coke, 35% procaine & 35% GARBAGE & by the way, I BELIEVE that 95% of my readers DON"T use that & so if ya suffer from that above diagnosis, ya probably not as BAD as those with issues who do get down with that POISONOUS white BITCH! That's always been a stickin point with me but DRUGS contribute to CD & in a bad way. It makes 1 tenative & excitable all at the same time & it seems when ya do get sure, that ya make a BAD DECISION but hey.......don't WE all got shit to go thru? I wonder who made up the expression of payin thru the NOSE!
