Personalizing

Sorry to tell you, but everything others say or do is not about you. When someone personalizes, they think other’s actions are directly related to them or are a reaction to something they did. There’s a heightened focus put on how they feel they influenced everything going on around them even though they didn’t. If you and a friend happened to buy the same sneakers, it doesn’t mean they are trying to be like you. People who personalize can also believe that are the cause of negative things that have happened. Personalizing can lead to people beating themselves up over feelings that aren’t based in reality. How will these thoughts help you grow as a person? Exactly. They don’t. What purpose do these thoughts have in your life? How do you feel when you are experiencing these thoughts. These are important questions that help you rid your mind of these irrational thoughts.
