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?

  • Thanks Trog. That almost perfectly describes me.

    I've got a negative interpretation of someones behaviour. To keep it short, we were getting on great, then they didn't reply to a message and I felt, I guess, in limbo after a friend said they'd let me know some dates to meet up, didn't. Their story has logical holes in it - unless this forum has a PM function, Im not going to tell you. Maybe I'll PM you over at WrongPlanet.

    Any theories why this catastrophising negative looking behaviour would be directed and intensified against one person, almost obsessively? Why would one person cause so much angst and anxiety?

    Is it because of weird attachment styles?
