Negative...

You magnify the negative aspects of a situation and filter out positive ones. 

When something bad occurs, you automatically blame yourself. 

You hear that an evening out with friends is canceled, and you assume no one wanted to be around you.

You automatically anticipate the worst. The drive-through coffee shop gets your order wrong and you automatically think that the rest of your day will be a disaster.

You see things only as either good or bad. There is no middle ground. You feel that you have to be perfect or you're a total failure.


You were complimented for completing your task well.  That evening, you focus only on your plan to do even more tasks and forget about the compliments. So adjust accordingly. 
Just a thought.
