memory

You misremember your past choices as smarter than they were.

Choice-supportive bias occurs when you remember your previous decisions as better and more rational than they were at the time.

After making a choice, you begin to highlight the positive attributes of the selected option and the negative attributes of the rejected ones. Over time, your memory simplifies the event to confirm you made the right decision.

Your history is a story you tell yourself to feel better about your past.
