Misconceptions & Reasoning
📋 What it is
Many safety “beliefs” are wrong — like “only strangers are dangerous online” or “I’m too small to be a target”; check the facts.
🗣️ Coach says
Some safety myths make people LESS safe. “Deleted means gone” — not always. “Only obvious strangers are risky” — not true. Beat a safety myth the same way every time: check what the evidence and experts actually say.
🧠 Memory hook
“Feels safe ≠ is safe.” Check the facts, not the myth.

Anyone can be targeted by a scam or a leak — believing “it won’t happen to me” is exactly what makes people skip safe habits.
✅ Quick check: Why is believing “that could never happen to me” actually risky?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.

Challenging false confidence is key safety reasoning.
