I'm a loser!
✔️ She's so touchy!
✔️ You're such a bore!
⠀
People tend to stick unhealthy labels on themselves or others instead of analyzing mistakes made in a particular situation. When a person thinks in terms of cliches, it leads to negative and unpleasant consequences.
⠀
So what to do about it?
▫️ Learn to keep track of such cliches.
▫️ When you catch yourself thinking in this way, focus on the actual meaning of that label. What criteria did you use to realize, for example, that you are a loser?
▫️ Is the label helpful? What way?
▫️ Recall and analyze those certain situations that disprove the negative tag. For example, you had a successful interview and got a job.
But what's to be done if you labeled yourself?
It's better to stop such attempts right away, just don't let them happen.
