I would expect that if you have more ego depletion than other people it would result in you being more likely to believe in ego depletion. Similarly, if you’re suffering health problems due to stress, it would make you think stress is unhealthy.
Your point still stands. Reality does care about your beliefs when the relevant part of reality is you.

I’d guess that there is causation in both directions to some extent, leading to a positive feedback loop.
How high is your confidence that the effect can be completely explained that way?
Not that high, but it does throw into question any studies showing a correlation, and it seems strange to site an example there’s no evidence for.
What does that mean in numbers?
