In many ways, the study of rumors is the study of our minds because: our thoughts are like rumors in the mind. They might be true, but then again, they might not be.
In retrospect, we can see how both of the above approaches to debunking wartime rumors were doomed to failure—yet we repeatedly adopt the same techniques when we try to quash the rumors in our own minds. Take self-criticism as an example: when we are feeling stressed or vulnerable, we only hear the inner critic and not the quieter voice of compassion. If we do hear an alternative to the unsettling thoughts, we probably won’t believe the answers because the emotional punch behind the thoughts is so powerful that it overwhelms all of our logic. If we dismiss our thoughts as “nonsense” or tell ourselves to “get a grip” or to “pull yourself together” then this further lowers our morale, leaving us wide open to further feelings of weakness and inadequacy. To make matters even worse, every time the tape of self-criticism begins to roll, we immediately start embellishing the story. We begin trawling our minds for supporting evidence and ignore everything to the contrary.
