have
heen subliminally
taught cognitive distortions for decades.

categories. If things are less than perfect self is viewed as failure

in importance while opposite is rejected.

negative) as absolute and maintaining singularity of belief to one or
the other.

Mind reading: One absolutely concludes that others are reacting
positively or negatively without investigating reality.

Fortune Telling: Based on previous 5 distortions, anticipation of
negative or positive outcome of situations is established

successes.
8.
Emotional reasoning: One feels as though emotional state IS reality
of situation. ie.
9.
"Should" statements: Self imposed rules about behavior
creating guilt at self inability to adhere and anger at others in
their inability to conform to self's rules.

applied.�
11.
Personalization: Thinking that the actions or statements of others
are a reaction to you.

Not taught. They are all inherent behaviours & biases. Propaganda jacks them up. Manipulates & distorts.
