Black-or-White Thinking

When we engage in black-or-white thinking, we’re thinking only about the extremes, without considering the middle ground. Things are either perfect or they’re terrible. People are either wonderful or evil. With the black-or-white thinker, it’s all or nothing. Of course, this thinking style ends up being so rigid that everything ends up being in the “bad” category. I’ve heard people say things like this:

“If the situation isn’t 100 percent safe, it’s dangerous!”

“If I don’t do a perfect job, I’ll be a failure!”

“If things aren’t ‘just right,’ they’re all wrong!”

“If I feel anxious, I must be weak!”
