Most of us strive for self-respect—to see ourselves in a positive light, to be _1_ of who we are. Any comments or experiences that undermine those feelings of self-worth can be uncomfortable and it’s only _2_ to want to avoid them. But the thing is, _3_ your self-worth really is being undermined is, to a large degree, subjective. Much of it comes down to your _4_ of what someone said or did.
When you take things personally, you’re interpreting these situations as saying something significant and negative about you as a person. Say your boss picks holes in your sales report, and you come away feeling like this means she thinks you’re a _5_ member of staff. Or, two of your friends cancel your _6_ get-together at the pub and you interpret this as meaning they’re bored of you. Psychologists have a _7_ for this way of thinking: personalisation. But the _8_ is that your boss might view you very highly. It’s just you made some _9_ in the report and she wanted to point these out so that you do better next time. _10_, in the case of your friends cancelling, perhaps they both felt unwell that weekend or they just _11_ their minds.
In both _12_—and others that we all experience—there’s another _13_ at work that psychologists call mind reading. This is when you assume to know what other people are thinking about you, when you can’t really know without _14_ them directly.
One simple way to avoid _15_ personalisation and mind reading is to challenge your negative assumptions of what’s _16_. When you find yourself taking a situation personally, try to think of other interpretations that are less focused on you—especially in the sense of saying anything deep or _17_ about you.
When you do this, it might help to try to put yourself in other people’s shoes. The fact your boss took the time to give you _18_ at all means they care enough to want to help you _19_. When it comes to your friends—maybe it’s because your friendship is so _20_ that they felt able to cancel at late notice.
