All or Nothing THINKING: Why You Always Feel Like a FAILURE

Описание: All or nothing thinking, also known as black and white thinking, is a common cognitive distortion that can quietly fuel depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and constant feelings of failure. If you've ever thought “I blew it” after a minor mistake or felt like anything less than perfect means you’re worthless, you’ve likely been caught in this unhelpful mental trap. In this video, we explore what all or nothing thinking looks like in everyday life, why it's so damaging to mental health, and how it can impact your self-perception, your relationships, and your motivation. We walk through how this distortion shows up in job interviews, diets, relationships, and even politics. You’ll learn how this kind of thinking reinforces hopelessness and perfectionism, and how small cognitive shifts can help you find more balanced, realistic perspectives. One practical strategy includes replacing the word "or" with "and" to allow room for complexity. Another involves actively searching for shades of gray rather than assuming the worst. The goal is to help you recognize when you’re stuck in these extremes and give you clear tools rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy to break the cycle. Reframing how you evaluate success, setbacks, or yourself can be one of the most powerful steps you take toward improving your mood and your mental health.
