Wishful thinking is when someone believes in something that they want to happen, even though there is little chance of it actually occurring. It shows optimism and a desire for things to be a certain way, even if that reality seems unlikely.
Examples:
1. Person A: “I think my favorite team is going to win the championship this year, even though they haven’t won in a decade and are currently in last place.”
Person B: “That’s just wishful thinking. It’s highly unlikely, considering their current performance.”
2. Person A: “I really hope I win the lottery tomorrow so I can quit my job and travel the world.”
Person B: “Sounds like wishful thinking to me. The odds of winning the lottery are incredibly slim.”
