The hardest psychological pill you will ever have to swallow is realizing you are a victim of the "Mirror Fallacy." ​You keep getting betrayed, used, and disappointed by people, and you sit around wondering why you have such bad luck. You don't have bad luck. You have a massive projection problem. ​You keep looking at other people and expecting them to have your heart, your work ethic, and your sense of loyalty. You assume that because you would never lie to them, they would never lie to you. Because you would give them your last dollar, they would do the same. People do not operate with your moral compass. Stop projecting your own character onto people who have repeatedly shown you they operate on pure survival and selfishness. You are breaking your own heart by expecting lions to eat grass just because you are a vegetarian.
