Distorted Thinking Part 5

This part is about,"jumping to conclusions."  Jumping to conclusions is when you make a negative interpretation even though there are no facts to support your conclusion. This causes me distress. If I don't hear from a friend for awhile I conclude,"She doesn't want to talk to me anymore." It makes me sad, makes me isolate and makes me hate people- and what for?! I need to realize this is a distorted thought! I called a friend I hadn't heard from in awhile, and who I assumed did not want to be in contact. We had a great conversation. She misses me very much, and thinks about me. She had been to busy to pick up the phone, and was grateful I called. So, I sat with that resentment for awhile because of a false conclusion.
So crazy.

Do you ever find yourself jumping to conclusions or am I a total nut?
