Magical thinking

NT's use this phrase in a few ways. Often it involves a misinterpretation of what we might be saying.

This usually involves assumed or actual Expectations which are incongruent with Reality. Such as idealising the perfect mate in our imagination and expecting this person can be found without considering the flaws which come part and parcel with these 'ideals'. 

Sometimes this can be a response to assuming you're relinquishing responsibility or your part in the function of a thing. 

Magical thinking can be why someone makes a bad investment, it can cause resentment if we have assumptions about how a social exchange or social contract works, or by idolising another in such a way they can't live up to. 

We are influenced by our beliefs and perspectives and respond accordingly. The wrong understanding of how the world or a business operates, for example, might create problems. In the music business, there are a load of kids who expect to write one song, have someone produce it for free and blow up on Spotify overnight. That's not how it works, unfortunately and what's happened is an entire industry is oversaturated with semi-talent leaving post production with more work to find the sounds that work as opposed to all the free stuff which doesn't and the sound department doesn't get paid hourly but by the project. This is how magical thinking can have an impact.
