==== Impact of All-or-Nothing Thinking ====
This type of thinking can have significant negative effects on various aspects of your life, including decision-making, relationships, and self-esteem.

'''1. Decision-Making and Problem-Solving''': All-or-nothing thinking can paralyze you with indecision, as you fear anything less than perfect is unacceptable. It can also lead to hasty, extreme decisions without considering nuanced solutions.

'''Example''': If you believe you must get every answer right on a test or you’ve failed, you might experience intense anxiety, which can hinder your performance.

'''2. Relationships''': Viewing people as all good or all bad can strain relationships. You might idolize someone when things are going well and demonize them when conflicts arise, leading to instability in your interactions.

'''Example''': If a friend cancels plans, you might immediately think they don’t care about you, rather than considering they might have had a legitimate reason.

'''3. Self-Esteem''': All-or-nothing thinking can result in a constant sense of failure and inadequacy. When you don’t meet your high standards, you may feel worthless.

'''Example''': If you aim to eat healthily but indulge in a treat, you might think, "I have no self-control," instead of recognizing that occasional indulgences are normal.
