Fallacy: Emotional Reasoning. This fallacy occurs when you believe something is true simply because you feel it strongly, disregarding evidence that contradicts your feelings (e.g., 'I feel awkward around people, so they must think I look awkward').
Falacia: Razonamiento Emocional. Se considera que algo es verdad porque se siente con mucha fuerza, ignorando la evidencia que lo contradice (ej. "Me siento raro, incómodo con otros, así que ellos deben pensar que me veo raro, incómodo").
