Jumping to conclusions so easily.

Post Reply New Topic

Can any of you tell me how to stop the habit of jumping to conclusions too easily?

Seems to me like an NT thing. Could you elaborate

I do that a lot!

Yes I do that rather a lot, I suppose the best thing is to take a step back, think the opposite.

Are you conclusions usually right?

Also, you can force yourself to evaluate things and search for alternate explainations. Keeping a "scorecard" to see which explaination has the most points may be one way to force yourself to stop.

As someone else pointed out - it is only a problem if you are jumping to the wrong conclusions all the time.

Personally, i think that jumping to the wrong conclusions makes life interesting, and it certainly makes someone think about what they've said, though it can be embarrassing if you do it often or have to apologise, though really it isn't your fault if someone failed to explain something completely.

I always do that. I always assume the worst but my mother tells me I can assume things

sorry, forgot the original question.

You could try waiting before you speak, or ask someone to clarify if you are not sure of their meaning, admittedly, some people can find it annoying if you keep on askingthem to reapeat themselves, of course, you could always refrain from commenting or thinking anything if you are not sure.

I normally jump to conclusions too often, i automatically assume that the person who nicks my stuff is the ppl who arent nice 2 me
