Negative Feedback Loop

Undiagnosed4321

What do you guys make of a Negative Feedback Loop?

Is this a common thing to get bogged down in Negative thinking, for one thing to happen which sends you down in a negative spiral, where you can't see the positives and just focus on the negatives and it makes you worse and worse?

Or is that another disorder?

    I think what MattBucks says has more than a grain of truth in it. However, I think that motivation, or self discipline, can be difficult if you have persuaded yourself that something is a problem when rationally it isn't. Motivational texts will say get a grip of yourself and train yourself to develop better habits. I have never had much time for this and I think that may because these texts fail to persuade me or educate me and I am deeply sceptical of training if I can't see the logical endpoint or can't see why it should work. I wonder if this way of thinking is an ASD trait (but not exclusive to ASD people) I think that people with ASD need to be educated before they can be trained, we need to be persuaded that the choices we make will be better is we make educated choices rather than just responding in a trained, parrot-fashion manner.

    I 'm going through a negative feedback loop a lot fo the time - as I messed up during a TUPE - where we were given the choice to opt out - -  I did - tried for internal redeploy - failed - and then a full not partial outsource was declared - but I didn;t say yes in time.  Now too lat e- so I cam eout after 21 years... and struggling.. 

    Still beating myself up about it - and trying not to..
