The blue dot effect leads us to hyper-focus on perceived judgments in social interactions, causing us to assume others have negative perceptions of us, which often isn't true.
People frequently project their own feelings onto others, mistaking neutral or ambiguous behaviors as personal judgments, which can strain relationships unnecessarily.
This tendency not only distorts our perceptions but also creates distance in relationships, causing us to misinterpret others' true intentions and feelings.
To improve our connections with others, we must challenge these assumptions and seek realistic evidence rather than succumb to negative projections.
