When you're anxious, you're actually fooling yourself, telling yourself things that simply aren't true. See if you can recognize yourself in any of these distortions:

All-or-Nothing Thinking: My mind will go blank when I give my presentation at work, and everyone will think I'm an idiot.
Fortune Telling: I just know I'll freeze up and blow it when I take my test.
Mind Reading Everyone at this party can see how nervous I am.
Magnification: Flying is so dangerous. I think this plane is going to crash!
Should Statements: I shouldn't be so anxious and insecure. Other people don't feel this way.
Self-Blame: What's wrong with me? I'm such a loser!
Mental Filter: Why can't I get anything done? My life seems like one long procrastination.
