The Sunk Cost Fallacy 🧠 | Why You Can't Let Go

## Description
Most people think quitting is a sign of weakness. But your brain is actually wired to keep you stuck. That's the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

🧠 What is the Sunk Cost Fallacy?
The more time, money, or energy you invest in something, the harder it is to walk away — even when staying hurts more than leaving.

💡 How to escape it:
Ask yourself: "If I had zero investment right now, would I still choose this?" If the answer is no — walk away. That's not quitting. That's freedom.
