Labeling and Mislabeling.
“Personal labeling means creating a completely negative self-image based on your errors. It is an extreme form of overgeneralization. The philosophy behind it is “The measure of a man is the mistakes he makes.””
“Labeling yourself is not only self-defeating, it is irrational. Your self cannot be equated with any one thing you do. Your life is a complex and ever-changing flow of thoughts, emotions, and actions.”
“When you label other people, you will invariably generate hostility.”
“Mislabeling involves describing an event with words that are inaccurate and emotionally heavily loaded.”
