Have you ever wondered why you are easily stuck thinking about unpleasant experiences and failures you have endured? 

As a human being, we tend to be impacted more by negative events rather than the positive ones. In psychology it is called “Negativity Bias”. 

Based on Positive Psychology.com. Negativity Bias could make us:

1. Overthink the insult than a compliment 

2. Emotionally and Physically focus more to negative stimuli

3. Hold/ can not let go of unpleasant / traumatic events for a long time.

Check out two videos below to help you understand more about negativity bias.
