Catastrophic thinking is rarely based in good probabilistic thinking. Logically I know that, but my brain latches on to the worst possible rational outcome as the most likely outcome.
I do not try to think in this way. I wish I didn’t.
- dgb23 5y agoHuman failure and weakness is something we have to accept, the response to it doesn’t need to be entirely negative. Often we can be empathetic in some way or another, which doesn’t exclude tough love. Also we often underestimate others when thinking too cautiously or fearful. This can often be cured through direct interaction. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by negative perspective/thinking. I try one of these angles. Sometimes it works, especially if I put effort into engaging with people that are involved.
