We Overestimate Our Significance to Others

Nick epley, a social psychologist at the university of chicago. He didn't experiment once where he would have research subjects go into a room wearing a big, oversized tea shirt that had barry manilo's face on and this was apparently among a cohort that really didn't like berry manelo. But i do think there are circumstances where we underestimate our significance to other people. Can you give an example? So in my department, there is a psychologist named erica boothby, and she's been studying how we actually often get it wrong. For example, compliments. In a series of studies, what erica butbe finds is that we underestimate the effect of compliments.
