I can add a bit to yours. How much time do you spend thinking bad things about people? My guess is not much. Most people are probably like you, too busy worrying about what you think of them than thinking bad things about you. What do you think? And your arguments are good too. How does this thought affect you, and does it help to confront it?

Sorry that I haven't gotten any of mine posted yet. I've been pretty busy this afternoon. And I'm avoiding my homework from T. That's a large part of why I posted this thread - to get myself to stop avoiding. I do have the cognitive distortions list printed out. It fits neatly on one page if you just copy the text from the post and paste that into a Word document. It helps to have a printed copy to refer to.
