Due to my borderline disorder, I do this CONSTANTLY with regard to relationships. If i even SUSPECT im about to get abandoned(and trust me, sometimes im TOTALLY irrational) I throw out wild generalizations and exaggerations. Im way way better at handling it now, but still struggle sometimes.

For example, if he is 30 min late calling me, Im automatically thinking "Thats it! Hes breaking up with me.. EVERYONE ALWAYS breaks up with ME." or "Of course, he must hate me" or" SEE? Proof that guys are mean!!"

*note- i dont think all guys are mean at all. I have more male friends than women friends. But when im in that mood, i generalize everything.

Im working on it still, and now i know enough to be able to say "no, thats NOT true. Be patient, dont assume, dont generalize."
