Cognitive Glitches: The Shadow Programs Controlling Your Mind (Until Now)

You’ve been gaslit, but by your own mind. Not because it hates you. But because it’s lazy, outdated, and still running Stone Age software on a quantum-level human.

These aren’t just “biases.”
They’re mental viruses, distorted filters, and emotional malware.
They corrupt your decisions. Hijack your reality. And unless you know how to spot them?
They’ll keep you broke, stuck, and sleeping on your own potential.

But now? You’re about to see the whole damn matrix.


1. The Echo Loop (Confirmation Bias)

Glitch: You search for what agrees with you and ignore what challenges you.
Why It Screws You: You end up in an echo chamber where you confuse comfort with truth.
Example: You think, “Men/women are trash,” so you subconsciously attract only the toxic ones, and block anyone who proves otherwise.
Override: Ask yourself, “What would I see if I believed the opposite was true?” Then go looking. Truth can’t breathe where only one opinion exists.


2. The Anchor Curse (Anchoring Bias)

Glitch: Your mind fixates on the first number, idea, or image and clings to it like a needy ex.
Example: You hear someone earns €5,000/month, and suddenly your own €3,000 feels like failure, even though you were thriving 10 seconds ago.
Override: Ask: “What would this look like if I hadn’t heard the first number?” Check multiple sources. Break the first-link hypnosis.


3. The Trauma Spotlight (Availability Heuristic)

Glitch: If something is vivid or recent, your mind exaggerates how common or important it is.
Example: You hear about a plane crash and cancel your vacation, even though driving to the airport is statistically more dangerous.
Override: Step back and ask, “Am I reacting to data, or just drama?”


4. Emotional Blackmail (Sunk Cost Fallacy)

Glitch: You keep investing in something toxic because you’ve already put in time, money, or love.
Example: You stay in a soul-sucking relationship or business partnership because of “everything you’ve been through.”
Override: Ask the ice-cold question: “If I were starting fresh, would I say yes to this?” If not? Cut. That. Cord.


5. The Halo Mirage (Halo Effect)

Glitch: Someone’s charm, looks, or status tricks you into thinking they’re great at everything.
Example: That smooth-talking coach you follow is great on camera… but their advice? Garbage.
Override: Separate the personality from the product. Evaluate every domain separately. Shine doesn’t equal substance.


6. Goldfish Memory (Recency Bias)

Glitch: Whatever just happened feels like it’s the most essential or representative thing.
Example: You had a fight with a friend, and now you’re ready to burn the whole friendship, even after years of loyalty.
Override: Time-travel mentally. Look at the entire timeline, not just the last scene.


7. Toxic Optimism (Optimism Bias)

Glitch: You think you’re the exception to reality. “That won’t happen to me.”
Example: You ignore signs of burnout, convinced your superhuman hustle will pull you through.
Override: Prepare like sh*t will hit the fan, and you’ll still thrive anyway. Be hopeful and hardcore.


8. Doom Programming (Negativity Bias)

Glitch: Bad stuff weighs more than good. You obsess over failures, insults, and pain.
Example: One person ghosts you, and you spiral into “I’m unlovable.”
Override: Count the wins. Revisit the moments you did rise, did heal, did win. Tattoo them on your psyche.


9. The Confidence Con (Dunning-Kruger Effect)

Glitch: People with little knowledge overestimate themselves, and those who are skilled? Constantly doubt themselves.
Example: That beginner who thinks they’re a guru after 3 YouTube videos. Meanwhile, you question your own coaching after 10+ certifications.
Override: If you’re doubting, it means you’re learning. Stay grounded, but don’t shrink just because you’re still growing.


10. Ego Armor (Self-Serving Bias)

Glitch: You take credit for the wins and blame others for the losses.
Example: Business booms? “I’m a genius.” Business dips? “My team sucks.”
Override: Own everything. Good or bad. Your soul grows when your ego doesn’t block the view.


11. Crowd Control (Bandwagon Effect)

Glitch: You adopt beliefs just because they’re popular.
Example: You start doing “manifestation rituals” because they’re viral, but you don’t even believe in half the steps.
Override: Ask: “Would I do this if no one else saw me doing it?” If it’s not authentic, ditch it.


12. Word Sorcery (Framing Effect)

Glitch: The way something is presented changes how you feel, even if the facts are the same.
Example: “90% fat-free” feels healthier than “10% fat.” Spoiler: it’s the same.
Override: Strip the words. Look for truth underneath the branding, packaging, and clever BS.


13. Ownership Distortion (Endowment Effect)

Glitch: You overvalue something just because it’s yours.
Example: You won’t let go of a business idea that’s clearly dying, just because you created it.
Override: Ask, “If I had nothing to do with this, would I buy into it now?” Brutal honesty = liberation.


⚡️Final Reality Check:

These aren’t just concepts.
They’re invisible leashes.
But now you’ve seen the threads.

Each glitch you spot is a string you can cut.
Each override is a choice to unchain yourself.

This is next-level self-awareness.
Not just for thinking better, but for living like you mean it.

You’re not here to play safe.
You’re here to play conscious, fierce, and free.
