Black-and-white or polarized thinking / All or nothing thinking
Looking at life in all-or-nothing categories. Either things are a success or a failure; either they are good or bad; there is no in-between, no good enough or partial success.
I always seem to be losing things, I'm so forgetful my life has been ruined and I'll never be able to remember things.

Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.

Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.
I'm incredibly smart, but that turns a lot of people off so I don't have any friends.

Catastrophizing
Catastrophizing: Giving greater weight to the worst possible outcome, however unlikely, or experiencing a situation as unbearable or impossible when it is just uncomfortable.
My best friend came all the way from Tanzania to visit last week. I couldn't see her everyday. She probably thinks I would have rather been doing other things.

Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.
I got a flat on my last bike ride. I am such a bad biker.
