Five common negative mindsets
- Mind reading: We assume we know the other person's thoughts or feelings.
- Mental filtering: You pay attention to a small set of observations and ignore all others. You may focus on one critical comment while ignoring the positive comments.
- Labelling: Using dismissive words that prevent us from thinking more objectively, such as "incompetent," "Disgusting," or "frustrating."
- Blame: Assigning blame to yourself or others, while the actual cause for a problem may lie elsewhere.
- All-or-nothing thinking: Someone is either a hero or a zero. A choice is either perfect or wrong.
