Personalizing

When someone personalizes, they believe that they are the cause of someone’s behavior or that they have something to do with the outcome of a situation. This is an error in thinking that can lead to distress, anger and negatively affect relationships and self-image. Personalizing can also be when a person blames themselves for something going wrong without sufficient evidence or thinking they are responsible for something that has nothing to do with them (like someone else’s happiness.) The phrase “everything is not about you” is not a jab, it’s facts.
