Complexity bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor complex explanations, theories, or solutions over simpler ones, even when the simpler ones are more likely to be correct or effective. This preference often stems from the belief that complex ideas are more sophisticated, intelligent, or thorough.
Whenever I ask my friends for advice on a simple problem, they always dive into some wild complexity bias, making everything sound way more complicated than it needs to be!

Get the Oldipus Complexmug. A girl that's got blonde hair, blue eyes and loves pink. Thinks everyone is obsessed with her (they aren't). Flat as fuck but still pulls, mid guys though. Fantasizes about wearing slutty outfits but is usually found in grey sweatpants and a top that says "Brats" on it or something. Shops chronically and complains about not being in addison rae shape even though she has never set foot in an actual gym. overall very bitchy but happy once you're friends
Boy 1: What's with the blonde girl with no tits and a pink bag?
Boy 2: She's got a Barbie complex fs, hide your girl before she becomes her.
Girl 1: Babe should i buy this "Brats" top?
Boy 1: No, put it back before you make up a barbie complex.
