Your brain is hard wired to react more so to negative events than positive ones. Here are just some of the ways:
- Negative events or failures cause us to self-evaluate and search for meaning.
- We remember an individual’s negative traits much more than their positive ones.
- Your brain devotes more time and attention to negative stimulus
- People remember the negative word choices we use to describe ourselves, much more so than any positive attributes we list.
- Acceptance by our peers does not affect self-esteem but rejection sure does.
