I do that exact thing (inaccurate mental models of people) too!
Have you found any useful ways to counteract that?
I haven’t found any other way than forcing myself to consciously look at unconscious models of people i make from time to time if it is possible and updating the models accoringly but this methos has not been very effective.
I’ve been working on noticing that I’m arguing with them, and running a mental process to halt those threads. It helps a lot in the moment. More importantly, it may even be having a preventative effect—I think I’m experiencing these imaginary fights less often.
