Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.
I could not fix the chain on my bicycle earlier today. I'm the worst cyclist.

Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.
I am always late for work. It is because I am a horrible employee.

I'm looking to start my own business where I can be my own boss. But, its very risky and hard to please customers so I'd be a terrible business owner.

I cant wait to start my new career. I got new cloths, equipment and a new haircut in preparation for my first day. But i accidently stepped on some half-chewed gum on my way to work. I dont feel so confident anymore.

Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.
I really enjoy comic con, but I'm not even into comics!

Catastrophizing
Catastrophizing: Giving greater weight to the worst possible outcome, however unlikely, or experiencing a situation as unbearable or impossible when it is just uncomfortable.
My girlfriend who I don't treat very well did not call me on Monday. Maybe she got food poisoning from the food I cooked on Sunday and died.

Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.
I work in the military people must think im a violent idiot.
