Violet Griffin · Answer 1

People tend to overestimate what negative feelings will occur following a decision more so than positive feelings.

Explanation:

The fear of the consequences that the mind bears, thinking what if the decision being taken does not turn in our favor, leads to repetitive negative thoughts and feelings. Before making a decision, the mind naturally tends to think of the possible losses that can occur if the decision goes wrong. This is because the drug secreted by positive feelings is never as high as the one secreted by intense fear.
