We all make mistakes

Cognitive distortions are when we immediately evaluate some event in a biased, erroneous way. That is, reality does not correspond to our expectations.

Let's take a look at some types of cognitive distortions:
⠀
Catastrophizing
Short chest pain. It's definitely a heart attack and I'm going to die.
⠀
Black and white thinking
If I don't pass the interview, then I'm a worthless specialist.
⠀
Devaluing positive information.
Yes, I have done well. But that's not to say that I'm good at it. I just got lucky.
⠀
Labeling.
I'm stupid/the boss is a tyrant.
⠀
Mistakes in thinking are like optical illusions. We know that there're illusions, but don't stop believing in them and using them.
