well. let's discuss different types of cognitive distortions? let's start with a few 1. FILTERING We focus on the negative while filtering out all the positive aspects of the situation. Obsessed with an unpleasant detail, we lose objectivity, and reality is blurred and distorted. 2. BLACK AND WHITE THINKING With black and white thinking, we see everything either in black or in white, there can be no other shades. We must do everything perfectly or we will fail - there is no middle ground. We rush from one extreme to another, not allowing the idea that most situations and characters are complex, composite, with many shades. #alt #goth #bodysuit #tummy #smalltits #skinny #small #gamergirl #egirl #teen

I share these cognitive distortions with you in the hope that it can make your life a little better. maybe this world is kinder to you than you think
3.PERSONALIZATION
People with this type of thinking tend to overestimate their importance and take a lot on their own account. Other people's behavior is usually seen as a consequence of their own actions or deeds. As a result, those who are prone to personalization take responsibility for external circumstances, although nothing really depended on them.

4. HYPERTROPHIC DEBT
The “must”, “should” attitudes are almost always associated with cognitive distortions. For example: "I had to come to the meeting early", "I have to lose weight to become more attractive." Such thoughts cause feelings of shame or guilt. We treat others no less categorically and say something like: “he should have called yesterday”, “she is forever indebted to me for this help.”

People with such beliefs are often upset, offended and angry at those who did not justify their hopes. But with all our desire, we are not able to influence someone else's behavior, and it is definitely not worth thinking that someone “should” do something.

5. CATASTROPHICATION
It is a habit to perceive any small trouble as an inevitable disaster. Let's say a person fails one exam and immediately imagines that he won't finish the course at all. Or the exam is still ahead, and he "knows" in advance that he will certainly fail, because he always expects the worst - so to speak, "advance" catastrophization.
