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.
