Here are 10 irrational thoughts that rational people often fall
  victim to at one point or another:

   1. Mistakes*are never acceptable.* If I make one, it means that
      I am incompetent.
   2. When somebody disagrees with me, it is a personal attack
      against me.
   3. To be content in life, I must be liked by all people.
   4. My true value as an individual depends on what others think
      of me.
   5. If I am not involved in an intimate relationship, I am
      completely alone.
   6. There is no grey area.* Success is black and failure is
      white.
   7. Nothing ever turns out the way you want it to.
   8. If the outcome was not perfect, it was a complete failure.
   9. I am in absolute control of my life.* If something bad
      happens, it is my fault.
  10. The past always repeats itself.* If it was true then, it
      must be true now.
