====Fallacy of change==== Relying on [[social control]] to obtain cooperative actions from another person.<ref name="grohol" /> The underlying assumption of this thinking style is that one's happiness depends on the actions of others. The fallacy of change also assumes that other people should change to suit one's own interests automatically, and/or that it is fair to pressure them to change. It may be present in most abusive relationships in which partners' "visions" of each other are tied into the belief that happiness, love, trust, and perfection would just occur once they or the other person change aspects of their beings.<ref>{{cite web |website=Abate Counseling |url=http://abatecounselling.ie/2018/08/30/fallacy-of-change-15-types-of-distorted-thinking-that-lead-to-massive-anxiety-10-15/|title=Fallacy of Change: 15 types of distorted thinking that lead to massive anxiety 10/15|date=2018-08-30}}</ref>
