Fallacies.

My understanding of a fallacy is it’s an erroneous rational often due to a misconception or presupposition. Our book goes into detail about six distinct fallacies: perfectionism, obsession with should, over-generalization, taking responsibility for others, helplessness, and fear of catastrophic failure. Out of the six and considering my own intrapersonal communication, I would consider perfectionism and taking responsibility for others to tie into my own communication. I am a creature of habit, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. I tend to be OCD when it comes to things and having them my way, thus  perfectionism describes me perfectly at times. However, being unrealistic and having dissatisfaction with myself over time can become life-threatening. I have subconsciously learned to fix this by doing self-talks and learning to deter these negative emotions knowing they have the opportunity to get the best of me. They can be my nemesis, but I fight them off. As for taking responsibility for others, I usually feel I am responsible for what others think about me far too often and feel I am responsible for their feelings. This can be good and bad; good because I believe I am a caring and sensitive person, but bad in a sense that if I always worry about what people think, it can get poisonous.
