Wishful thinking is a myth and doesn't affect beliefs at all, it isn't even a form of self-delusion or self-deception.

Wishful thinking doesn't effect actual belief but makes you think it does, you go into self-denial when you succumb to it and it's a form of self-delusion and deceiving yourself.

I agree but I think wishful thinking is more than just wishing as in hoping.
