Why do some people always feel that others are making money? (Core logic must-read)
Hello everyone, I am Dehui! Today I will share the core.
This feeling is largely an illusion, mainly stemming from the following points:
🔴Survivorship bias and the silence of evidence: The stories of those who made money, especially the legendary tales of 'hundredfold and thousandfold' returns, are repeatedly shared on social media, making you feel like myths are everywhere. Meanwhile, those who suffered losses, or even completely lost their investments, mostly choose silence, quietly exiting and becoming the stories you don't hear. This creates the illusion that 'making money is easy.'
🔴Only showing profits, not losses: Human nature is to share joy and hide pain. People are eager to showcase screenshots of doubling or becoming wealthy, but they rarely share records of margin calls or significant losses. What you see are carefully selected 'highlight moments,' not their true overall profit and loss situation.
