contextpation

When someone on im appears to be typing, but no words come out. You will see the "_____ is typing a message," but no message appears for a long while. Often message is shorter than would be expected by the time it took to type it.

Contextplating

The act of taking a prolonged break in a text conversation to decide between possible things you can say. This usually happens when trying to say the right thing to someone you're interested in and try to sound clever, funny or smart. Or when it is important not to say something wrong that could escalate into an unwanted conflict.

"Dude, what should i say to this girl. I don't want to mess things up"

"I don't know man just keep contextplating for a while and if she asks what took so long say you didn't notice you had a text"

Contestation Bias

A bias where one automatically contests, challenges, or disputes any information that doesn't align with preexisting views. Contestation Bias doesn't just ignore opposing evidence; it actively fights it, demanding impossible standards, shifting goalposts, and finding reasons to reject. It's the bias of perpetual opposition—the mind that says "no" before hearing the question.

"Every study she cited, he contested. Methodology, sample size, funding source—always a reason to reject. Contestation Bias isn't skepticism; it's automatic opposition. Not "show me evidence," but "your evidence is never enough." The contest is the point; truth is secondary."
