Counterfactual Thinking SeriesSometimes we find ourselves wishing we had done or said things differently in the moment, running through endless “what ifs” or “if I had only…” thoughts.
This is called counterfactual thinking. That moment you say something dumb to the cashier of your favorite coffee shop and contemplate for hours whether you can ever show your face again. Or when you are confronted with blatant discrimination and the perfect comeback weighs on your mind minutes after everything is already said and done. These pieces consider something that happened, real or make believe, personal or historical, and explored alternative routes and possible endings. |
