This is the mindset of an egomaniac who insists that others fit into his schedule, or demands that a partner not wear their favorite T-shirt because they don't like it. 10. BELIEF IN JUSTICE The phenomenon is expressed in the idea of a just world in which everyone gets what they deserve, although in reality this rarely happens. An example of this mindset trap is blaming yourself for cheating on your partner. 11. ILLUSION OF CONTROL Someone who thinks that everything in the world is controllable is pissed off by someone else's behavior - for the simple reason that it cannot be influenced in any way. A person obsessed with the desire to control everything may blame the boss for the poor performance of the company, although the real problem may lie elsewhere.
