One of the results of our psychological fragility is that we sometimes exaggerate any problem that appears in our lives to the point of depicting it as an existential disaster. There is a process called in psychology as pain catastrophizing. You feel helpless and collapse when the problem occurs, and you keep describing it with exaggerated negative terms that are not equal to its size in reality. You feel lost and lose the ability to resist completely, you surrender to your pain and your whole life collapses because of this problem, and psychological fragility manifests itself in other forms in our daily dealings: we magnify our feelings and make them a final judgment on almost everything, and we decide to retire everything that hurts our feelings, even with a simple word. Criticizing our thoughts because criticism for us has become like an attack We love resorting to psychiatrists for every negative feeling in our life and we rush to them for treatment We do not accept advice and we do not want anyone to judge us We seek an excuse for any mistake or crime claiming that the perpetrator is psychologically harmed. This book, then, analyzes what is happening to a group of young men and women who have been affected by the phenomenon of psychological fragility, and then presents the proposed practical solutions to strengthen negation and train it to be patient and bear responsibility.
