Irrational thoughts
At some point we have all had thoughts like:
Everything is going wrong
I'm useless
We always end up arguing
I'll never find someone like him
I can't do anything to feel better
Or irrational fears:
I don’t get on the plane because we could have an accident and die.
It’s better that I don’t leave the house today so that I don’t get sick and I don’t hurt my son.
I prefer to walk even if it takes longer, because driving scares me.
The problem comes when these fears or thoughts prevent us from doing what is best for us, such as going by car, instead of walking, because we save an hour.
The most important thing
When we read them they seem absurd to us, but it is proven that we have all had some fear or irrational thought of this type at some point.
What to do?
Some consequences of these thoughts are:
- Social problems
- Decreased self-esteem
- They can cause future problems
