Common negative thinking patterns might also include:

  • Picking an argument or looking for things to get upset about, usually while overlooking or blowing past anything positive. Letting these small irritations build and build until you reach the “final straw” and explode, often over something relatively minor.
  • When anything bad happens or something goes wrong, it’s always someone else’s fault. You tell yourself: “life’s not fair,” or blame others for your problems rather than taking responsibility for your own life.
