Self-serving Bias
You ever wonder why some people are indifferent towards other people's misfortunes, yet it's a global crisis if bad things happen to those who show indifference? Here's what my buddy ChatGPT says: ================================ The phenomenon is often referred to as "self-serving bias" or "double standard." In a broader context, it can also be related to "hypocrisy" or "empathy gap." These terms describe a situation where individuals are more lenient or understanding of their own problems while being dismissive or critical of others' misfortunes. People exhibit self-serving bias or double standards for various psychological and social reasons: 1) Self-preservation - Individuals naturally want to maintain a positive self-image. By downplaying others' misfortunes and exaggerating their own, they protect their ego and self-esteem. 2) Lack of Empathy - Some people have difficulty empathizing with others, making it harder for them to understand or appreciate others' struggles. 3) Cognitive Dissonance - Holding two contradictory beliefs or attitudes can create discomfort. To reduce this discomfort, people might minimize others' problems while emphasizing their own to maintain a consistent self-view. 4) Social Comparison - People often compare themselves to others to gauge their own worth. Downplaying others' issues while highlighting their own can make them feel superior or more significant. 5) Attention Seeking - Exaggerating personal misfortunes can be a way to gain sympathy, attention, or support from others. 6) Cultural and Social Norms - In some environments, there may be implicit norms that encourage individuals to focus on their own problems rather than those of others. 🤖 These behaviors are often subconscious and can vary greatly between individuals and situations.

Humans are creatures of habit. This also transfers to the action of napping. For a good nap, you require:
