Yeah i think it's called sunk cost fallacy in psychology
It's a type of cognitive bias that occurs when we continue to invest money, time, or effort into something because of the resources we have already committed to it, even if it no longer makes sense to do so.

Exactly, the sunk cost fallacy can lead us to make irrational decisions based on past investments rather than current circumstances. It's important to recognize this bias and make choices based on what will truly benefit us moving forward.
