Another thing that wrecks self esteem is overgeneralization. We tend to experience something negative and then over apply it to everything in our lives. For example, if your boyfriend breaks up with you and youre hurt, you might think, Ugh, nobody loves me and nobody ever will! This is overgeneralizing one experience to all experiences. Instead of doing this, catch yourself whenever youre using the words always, never, all, every and instead try to make a more specific statement. Our statements should be accurate and based on evidence.
