“Most people don’t…”
“Most people are…”
“Most people like…”
“Most people feel…”
“Most people think…”
It is so easy to preface our statements with “Most people”. It feels as if it gives what we say additional authority, as if we are sharing an incontrovertible truth. But we’re not. We’re just sharing our opinion and often simply projecting aspects of our own character.
Most people don’t think of themselves as most people!
