Hypothetical Optimism

When someone tells you “things get better” but that isn’t really true. They say this because they have a hypothetical belief that you can have someone to help you get better.

1:Hey man, you have someone to talk to, trust me.
2:That’s hypothetical optimism because I have no one to talk to. I’m also lonely as fuck.

Optimization Trap

When trying to improve everything actually makes life worse. The endless tweaking, tracking, and hacking that leaves you more stressed than before. Productivity apps, fitness gadgets, even parenting advice—sometimes “optimizing” just optimizes the anxiety.

I bought five different apps to manage my schedule, and now I don’t have time to do anything. Classic optimization trap.
