Personalisation - a reference to us
Thinking trap quiz
What’s going on:
Despite a lack of evidence, we relate comments and actions back to ourselves. Criticism where it was not intended is a part of this pattern. As is having feelings hurt consistently by things that are not intended in that way.
Example:
A girl who hears someone else say there is a funny smell thinks that the person is talking about her.
Replace with:
The girl may have forgotten that she had a shower before coming out, is wearing antiperspirant and perfume and hasn’t broken a sweat.
