All or nothing thinking leads to extremes, focusing on black or white categories, unable to accept non-conformist ideas due to the absence of grey.

Cognitive distortion involves training the mind to view everything negatively, leading to a lack of appreciation for our surroundings and feelings of being exploited.

when we assume all incidents are the same, can lead to toxic relationships and harm the relationship.

often we overthink so much that we assume the worst for a given situation. This can further impact the words we use or the actions we take.

We often view everything as related to us, leading to a sense of accountability or victimhood, which can be draining and frustrating.
