It is similar to all-or-nothing thinking, which is viewing a situation in terms of extremes such as "Either I am completely good or completely bad." Catastrophizing is predicting a negative outcome without considering other possibilities and disqualifying the positive focuses on only negative information, ignoring any positive input.
