Cognitive Thinking Errors @Teenage
Know Yourself Better
#
Black and white thinking: Parents /Teachers are
awesome or awful(bad).
# All or nothing thinking. “If I you don’t let me do this, I
will never be popular with my friends.”
Over-generalized thinking. “Everyone else’s parents let them
Emotional reasoning. If I feel something it must be true. “If I don’t get those new jeans, I will never fit in.”
# Imaginary Audience Syndrome
Teenagers believe that everyone is watching and preoccupied with the smallest details of his or her life. “Everyone is going to notice this about me ; I
can’t go to class /school like this.”
#Preoccupation with right and wrong; fairness. Teenagers have a long list of shoulds, oughts, and high expectations for others especially parents/Teachers . “I should be able to do what I want to , I am 15/16/17and that is mature/grown up.
#Present-orientated.
• Focus is on short term, immediate gratification. “I need that new video game / dress / Jacket /T-Shirt /Phone today
#Egocentric thoughts; finding it difficult to focus on anyone else’s experience.
“I do all the things for myself .I am in the hostel ! You never help out.”
They are not aware (in this moment) that Parents go to work and pay the bills for a better and comfortable education and life .
#Serious miscalculations about adult wisdom; or the belief that adults know both more and less than they do.
“They will never understand what I am going through, times are different”.
