What do you mean by absolute requirements, overly generalized evaluation and extremely bad results?

People often take their own wishes as the starting point and think that something must happen or not. It is often manifested in the absolute transformation of "hope" and "want" into "must", "should" or "must". For example, "I must succeed" and "others must be kind to me" and so on.

This absolute requirement is unreasonable because every objective thing has its own law of development and cannot be transferred by personal will.

2. Overgeneralized assessment:

An unreasonable way of thinking that generalizes to the whole often generalizes "sometimes" and "some" into "always" and "all".

In Alice's words, it's like judging a book by its cover. Reflected in people's unreasonable evaluation of themselves or others, the typical feature is to evaluate the overall value of themselves or others by one or several things. For example, some people will think that they are "worthless, worthless" after some failures.

3. Extremely bad results:

This view holds that if something bad happens, it will be very terrible and bad. For example, "I didn't go to college, it's all over." "I didn't become a director, and I won't have a future."

This kind of thinking is irrational, because for anything, there will be a worse situation, so nothing can be defined as extremely bad. But if a person insists on this "bad" view, then when he encounters what he calls 100% bad things, he will fall into a bad emotional experience and will never recover.

Extended data

The direct cause of C is the belief B (the belief of the first English letter) produced by the individual's cognition and evaluation of stimulus event A, that is, the result of negative emotion and behavior disorder (C) is not directly caused by a stimulus event (A), but directly caused by the false belief (B) produced by the individual who experienced this event.

A (antecedent) refers to the antecedent of the matter, and c (consideration) refers to the consequence of the matter. Every antecedent has consequences, but the same antecedent A has different consequences, such as C 1 and C2.

This is because there must be a bridge B (belief) between cause and result, which is a belief and an evaluation and explanation of the situation.

Because, in the same situation (a), different people have different ideas, evaluations and explanations (B 1 and B2) and will get different results (C 1 and C2). Therefore, everything that happens is rooted in faith (faith refers to people's thoughts, explanations and evaluations of events, etc. ).
