Old habits die hard?
Depression tells us lies?

I do like the research that Seligman has regarding what we LEARN to attribute various results "to."

When ppl who have poor self image tend to load on the negative for themself, but not for others, it doesn't hurt to attribute some of any failings to outside sources!

Plus, by taking credit for good and dissing the situation for any bad, it helps us become better.

I'll hang with Seligman anyday
