Catastrophizing
Catastrophizing: Giving greater weight to the worst possible outcome, however unlikely, or experiencing a situation as unbearable or impossible when it is just uncomfortable.

Labeling and mislabeling
A form of overgeneralization; attributing a person's actions to their character instead of to an attribute. Rather than assuming the behaviour to be accidental or otherwise extrinsic, one assigns a label to someone or something that is based on the inferred character of that person or thing.

Mental filtering
Filtering distortions occur when an individual dwells only on the negative details of a situation and filters out the positive aspects.
Since I'm a mortician and a stamp collector I'll never meet anyone who doesn't think I'm a weirdo or a nerd.
