Why Assumption Is Wrong?

Assumptions allow you to hide behind your version of the story. This means you don't own your part in the true story. You prefer to blame others for your misfortune, rather than look in the mirror. They keep you stuck in the past.

Are assumptions a bad thing?

As Jack Colwell and Chip Huth point out, assumptions start causing problems when we believe our way of interpreting a given situation is the only way to interpret that situation…and furthermore, that anyone who does not see things our way is somehow “less than.” They're uninformed, stupid, or just flat wrong.

Why do we make false assumptions?

Marcia Sirota describes assumptions as that inner world that colors the way we see and understand our world and distorts things for us. Making false assumptions causes us to become less grounded in reality and more prone to creating problems for ourselves and others.
