Swami Mukundananda

After being betrayed, why do I feel nobody can be trusted, and is that thinking right?

Don't over-generalize from one hurt

Concluding "everybody will reject me, nobody is going to accept me" because one person rejected you is over-generalization. That thinking is defective and leads to negative thinking in the mind.

One such erroneous thinking is over-generalization. Say Kavita rejected Dinesh and he is upset, so Dinesh generalizes: everybody will reject me, nobody is going to accept me.
