Prediction 

Mine was actually correct though.
Hym "My prediction was that they were going to use mail-in ballots to cheat and pull off 'The most extensive and inclusive voter faurd operation in the history of the presidency' (that's a Joe Biden quote) and I WAS CORRECT! I told the 'Don't shut down the country or you're going to lose.' And then his DID shut down the country. And he DID lose. People should know better than to ignore me but, hey, I guess always being correct and literally creating A.I. isn't good enough for everybody. I think it's not being able to delude yourselves into believing you're 'good' in any way shape or form. That's got to be it. I don't know. But it's crazy! I'm like a seer! Greatest mind who's ever lived!"

Prediction phobia 

Prediction phobia creates self limitations.
Being slaves to predictions, never to test if predictions are true.

Fear prevents a person from being oneself, and never test if predictions become reality. This prevents the brain from becoming calibrated with reality. Some of our predictability comes from people failing to be creative and simply parroting behavior of others.

A person who always pays attention to how he/she behaves, and don't let go of this prediction of how others look at him/her-self.

When focusing on what you predict others' opinions/reactions/views of you are, you will restrict yourself and act worse than you would otherwise.

How do we know anything for sure?
The cure is to test every prediction that comes in the way of doing what you want. See how often your bad predictions were incorrect, and how they affect your life.

You make predictions reality by focusing on them. Let go of the prediction's control over you and start controlling yourself. Wake up, enjoy the now, stop predicting.
Prediction phobia stops you from doing what you feel like: dancing, getting to know strangers, not drinking beer at the bar, not laughing at jokes you don't think are funny, playing loud music, talking loud, singing, talking to groups of people.

"You didn't try to hit on the girl when you had a chance?"
-"No, I didn't think it would work"
"Haha you let prediction phobia take control of you, you had your chance and you didn't even try."
-"No I don't, I play the lottery even though I know I won't win, but this is different."
"No I don't see your logic, your self-image isn't going to be damaged. Risk rejection or go home mad at yourself for not taking the chance?"
-"Wow thanks! I will start to ignore my predictions."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
