JOURNAL: SOME OF MY IRRATIONAL THOUGHTS

irrational thoughts that rational people often fall victim to at one point or another:

-Mistakes are never acceptable.  If I make one, it means that I am incompetent.
-When somebody disagrees with me, it is a personal attack against me.
-To be content in life, I must be liked by all people.
-My true value as an individual depends on what others think of me.
-If I am not involved in an intimate relationship, I am completely alone.
-There is no grey area.  Success is black and failure is white.
-Nothing ever turns out the way you want it to.
-If the outcome was not perfect, it was a complete failure.
-I am in absolute control of my life.  If something bad happens, it is my fault.
-The past always repeats itself.  If it was true then, it must be true now.
