The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Why You Stay Long After You Know | EP.122
from Single (not spiraling) · host Lauren Samantha
Why is it so hard to walk away from something once you've put time into it — even when you already know it's not right? This week we're getting into the sunk cost fallacy, the concept that explains why staying can feel safer than leaving, even when staying is the actual cost. Inspired by a section in Amanda Montell's The Age of Magical Overthinking, we're talking about where this thinking comes from, how it shows up in dating whether you're single right now or looking back, and why the time you've already spent is the worst possible reason to spend more of it.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: [email protected] for coaching HEREWould You Date You?
