Mental Filter
My friend didn't say hi to me this morning. She obviously hates me.
Mind Reading
Seeing a pattern based upon a single event, or being overly broad in the conclusions we draw.

I got an 80% on my test today. I can't believe I got those two questions wrong, I'm so stupid for not taking my time to answer them.
Disqualifying the Positive
The tendency to think that the worst possible outcome is going to happen.
Thinking the Worst
I got into a fight with my best friend on my way here. I don't even know what it was about. We'll probably never speak again, and if we stop talking, I won't be able to hang out with any of my other friends ever again.
Thinking the Worst
Assuming that because we feel a certain way what we think must be true.
Emotional Reasoning
I accidentally made a mistake on this picture I've been drawing. I might as well throw it away and start over.
