As i continued my research, when we think about some emotional event, we tend to over-estimate how strongly we will feel, how long this will last and other factors that impact us. This applies to both negative and positive events.
In doing so, we tend to forget that other events in our life, as well as our general ability to recover from trauma.
Example :
When I think about breaking up with my girlfriend, I believe I will be so upset I will unable to do my job effectively for a long time to come. ~ link ~
