Good characters are the most important part of a story, and good misbeliefs are the most important piece to a good character. Since I have failed to find such a resource anywhere else, enjoy my misbelief thesaurus (always a work in progress). Check out my blog post on characters if you would like to learn craft your own, and wield them to the greatest effect:
- The only person worth looking out for is yourself.
- All people are awful at their core, everyone will betray me.
- People are pawns to be used and manipulated.
- Life is about survival, and I am doomed to violence.
- I am dangerous/a monster, I can never be safe/normal.
- My worth is in my service/as a tool (usually because of a power), not as an individual.
- I'm not worthy of love and respect, unless I prove myself.
- When you let people close, they only hurt you. / No one truly loves me, and will only hurt me if I let them in.
