Therefore, such a person mainly starts from their own conclusions, a form of first-degree thinking. The intentions may be good, but the consequences are often poorly assessed.

Casus

"I’ll just drop by my husband’s work with the children, he will surely like that."

The intention is positive, but no account is taken of the context:

• the children have autism and cannot tolerate long car rides, especially not during rush hour
• after an hour in traffic, they arrive completely overstimulated
• the mother is also overstimulated and reacts emotionally
• the father has to interrupt his work to fix the situation

The starting point was good, but the lack of context makes the consequences negative.

Casus

Casus

Interrupting someone in the middle of their conversation because you have an idea you want to express right now. It may seem harmless, but it ignores the other person’s sensitivities and can lead to irritation or withdrawal.
