Charlie Brown has been the famously neurotic yet lovable character in the Charles Schulz comic strip, Peanuts, and more recently in The Peanuts Movie (2015). For decades, Charlie Brown’s anxiety and low self-confidence have been the result of the pseudo-conflict he perceives between himself and the rest of the world. How do you fare when you assume something to be true based on your perceptions rather than on actual facts? Are the results positive, or do they create more conflict?
