A person belittles and devalues his/her achievements, and magnifies his/her mistakes or behaviors that he/she considers to be wrong. Someone who graduated from very distinguished schools, is extremely successful in his/her profession, and speaks three foreign languages may ignore his/her own achievements by saying, "I had good opportunities, my father had money, he cared about my education." He/she may interpret his/her inability to master French, despite speaking English and German very well, as "I don't have a good head, I'm an idiot." A young person who is just starting out in his/her career magnifies the mistakes that anyone can make during his/her inexperience, to such an extent that depression becomes inevitable for him/her.
Personalization
A person evaluates events that they have no or little connection to as if they WhatsApp Number List were completely personal and holds themselves responsible for the negative outcomes of these events. An overprotective father may blame himself for his 24-year-old daughter's car accident by saying, "I shouldn't have let her get her driver's license." An employee may interpret the harsh tone resulting from workplace tensions as, "They don't want me here, they're harassing me to quit." It is very difficult for someone who takes every look, word, and criticism personally to be happy.
Selective Focus
A person focuses only on the negative results of the situations or events he experiences. A doctor who does not like his profession only sees his patients who are dying in the clinic. He does not notice the people whose pain he relieves and brings back to life. A meticulous husband does not see that his wife is a loving and good-natured person; he complains about the rips that are not sewn, the food that is not heated properly, the trousers that are not ironed properly. It is very easy for someone who always sees the empty side of the glass to get depressed.
Arbitrary Inferences
A person constantly draws negative conclusions from the situations or events they experience, even if there is no sufficient reason for it. For someone who lost their father to heart disease, the slightest palpitation may seem like a sign of death. Although they know that their father's disease is not hereditary, they worry about their own health. A jealous husband may interpret his wife returning from the market ten minutes late as cheating. Such wrong thoughts and interpretations wear the person out and eventually lead to depression.
