Cognitive distortion

Cognitive distortion is a way of thinking where you make up stories in your head that may not be true. These stories can make you think things like ‘everyone hates me’ or ‘I’m not good at anything’. Sometimes these stories get stuck in our heads and can change our attitude about ourselves, other people, and the world. The stories can make us worry, feel sad or angry and can lead to us feeling bad about ourselves. So, cognitive distortion is like a thought that you keep having in your head that isn’t true but it makes you feel bad anyways.
