Name that distorted cognition (thought/perception)

[ms spock]

I have been jumping to conclusions.

I have been engaging in all or nothing thinking.

I have been doing emotional reasoning, if I feel that I am bad I am bad.

 

[ms spock]

I have been doing so much emotional reasoning. It needs to stop.

 

[ms spock]

I have been jumping to conclusions a lot thinking that people are rejecting me or not wanting me.

Emotional reasoning, jumping to conclusions and emotional filter.

This morning I was catastrophising and jumping to conclusions

 

[ms spock]

I did some personalising and also some emotional reasoning but I did pull myself out of those distorted cognitions, and I did refocus and reframe for myself. I did well.

Mine is also "I must also argue if needed to not feel as if I am weak".

Can you say a bit more about that please? Explain what you mean a bit more?

I am doing emotional reasoning over trust with myself. I always felt I couldn't trust myself as so many things went wrong in my childhood and teenage years, and then my early 20s, but that emotional reasoning is not right, it causes corrosive self doubt, and it is a cognition I need to challenge all the time.

A thing for me to think about....

Its a bit difficult for me to explain. It begins with a deep sense of feeling weak ( hypervigilant, submissive, stupid, less worth) To compensate these feelings I have another part that says " assert yourself, be aggressive if needed, say your opinion". Unfortunately I have a selective perception that in every situation I MUST show others how " tough" and " fearless" I am. This is like a paradox I act at times as if I am very confident then again feel like a sick, small child.
It needs internal work... very tough..

Sry this got too long
