Mental Filtering
Thing Thinking Error
Draw cards face down, pass clockwise to opponents who may swap a card from their hand.
Am I focusing on the negative and overlooking the positive?
Disqualifying the Positive
Thing Thinking Error
When you have most Things, players with least things may choose things from you until you no longer have most.

Labelling
Thing Thinking Error

Am I globally putting myself down as a failure, worthless, or useless?

Personalising
Thing Thinking Error
When an opponent plays a card, reveal cards of that type, they may take one.

Demanding
Thing Thinking Error
Only play Things if you let an opponent draw a card. They choose whether or not you draw 2.
Am I using words like 'should', 'must', 'ought', and 'have to' in order to make rigid rules about myself, the world, or other people?
Low Frustration Tolerance
Thing Thinking Error
You can't play cards or activate Actions unless you discard a card of that type.
Am I telling myself that something is too difficult or unbearable or that 'I can't stand it' when actually it's hard to bear but it is bearable and worth tolerating?
