After reading the last section of the chapter which discussed about fallacies, I can see there are many similarities within my life. When people express their feelings to us, we usually respond with a general statement. If we want to become skilled in listening and responding, we should not get into a perspective conversation. When people talked about bad things about their lives, they may not mean to let you help, but just want you to listen to them. The text has included six different fallacies which we normally encounter in our daily lives, perfectionism, obsession with should, overgeneralization, taking responsibility for others, helplessness, and fear of catastrophic. If we are taking too much responsibility for others, it is much easier for us to get into troubles. When people were talking about themselves, we better become a good listener and think before we respond. We also should not become helplessness, if there really is nothing that we can help, we should not be depressed neither.
