I've always had this exact personal belief but have never seen any relevant studies. Are you able to share any sources? Thanks.

- btilly 10y agoOur tendency to see patterns is well-documented. See http://www.drjudithorloff.com/Free-Articles/Psychiatric-Annals-Brains-Seek-Patterns.pdf http://www.drjudithorloff.com/Free-Articles/Psychiatric-Anna... for one of many, many articles on the topic. The issue of depression and realism is more controversial, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depressive_realism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depressive_realism. I'm personally inclined to accept it.
