There is nothing more fascinating than watching someone stubbornly defend a delusion simply because reality doesn't match their expectations.
Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, Rowan Atkinson shared a hilarious encounter at a Land Rover parts department where a stranger pulled him aside to inform him that he was the "spitting image" of Mr. Bean. When Atkinson gently explained that he was, in fact, the actor who plays the character, the stranger didn't believe him growing increasingly annoyed and convinced that Atkinson was just a delusional imposter going around impersonating him.
It’s a perfect reminder of how human psychology works. People don't judge situations by the facts in front of them, they judge them by the narrative already locked inside their heads. When reality contradicts a preconceived script, most people won't update their worldview they'll just assume reality is lying to them.
@gsa15036 Given him time and patience. He has played a total of 553 minutes and only made 5 starts. Joined deadline day thrown in at Southampton and Wolves where no player covered themselves in glory! Played well at Ipswich, not settled here yet but sub appearences are difficult
I see Hirst is taking pelters again probably the same people who were saying Bocat should never wear the shirt again after the Wolves game! Strikers need a run of games, not something he has had. The way some of our fans slaughter our own players just baffles me
@gsa15036 Any striker lacking in confidence or form goes through that. It's not his fault we paid a big fee for him and then not played him. New team, new home, new people, new way of playing and to top it all hardly any game time and slaughtered by his new fan base. I bet he's buzzing!
“That was easily the hardest match I’ve ever had to deal with” 💔
An emotional victory for Jordan Brown, as close friend Mark Allen opens up about the possibility of retirement following their match.
Thought @Boro were excellent last night, moved the ball quickly, short passes between the lines we really struggled with. They should walk this league if they keep their squad fit, Brittain looks a great player! We are so much improved and look a proper team now. On to Derby now
