Types and Examples of Distorted Thinking

Mind Reading - Unlike having a healthy theory of mind, mind reading is when you make assumptions about what somebody is thinking or feeling despite contrary or lack of supporting evidence. In actuality, you’re possibly delusional or paranoid.

Catastrophize - when you over think a problem and the effects that they will actually have on you. For example, when you think that losing a relationship means the end of your life when really you can find someone new the next day or down the line.

Filtering - when you only pay attention to one side of things. For example, you only remember the bad times you had in school and not the good ones.

Polarized thinking - when you think of things as either black or white or good or bad. For example, there can only be good or bad people or success or fails.

Personalization - when you take everything too personally. For example, when you think that everything people do or say is some kind of reaction to you.

Blaming - when you hold other people accountable for your problems. For example, you blame someone else  for causing you to make a bad decision. In actuality, you were the one who made the wrong call based on your own judgement.

 The Malaysian armed forces and students in local public universities all possess the 1Malaysia Discount Card (KDR1M) which entitles them to discounts on daily necessities. The Information, Communications and Culture Ministry just announced that this will soon be available for all Malaysians!

A discount card is to be issued at no charge to Malaysians, under a special project by Informasi Malaysia (Info-Malaysia). 

Its chairman Datuk Abdul Rahman Manan said a two-year contract had been signed with the merchants for the proposed 1Malaysia People's Discount Card (KDR1M) programme, under which holders would enjoy a wide range of products and services at discounted rates. The list includes selected clinics, hotels, restaurants, spas and apparel stores. 

“We have already designed the card which will be presented to the Prime Minister.
“We need to discuss with the Government the mechanism to implement the discount programme,” he said after the launch of the Info-Malaysia headquarters at Precinct 15 here yesterday.
Abdul Rahman, who is also 1Malaysia Government Pensioners Club secretary-general, hoped that the card would be issued as soon as possible.
Deputy Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Maglin D'Cruz said the discount was open to all Malaysians.
“There are already discount cards for the army, police and undergraduates but with the KDR1M, every Malaysian can enjoy discounts for the purchase of their daily needs.

“This will extend convenience to all the people,” he said in his speech. ~ The Star
