::::Two things: '''1)''' I believe you are engaging in splitting. Splitting is a [[psychology|psychological]] [[defense mechanism]] that causes individuals to engage in the extreme binary thinking of all-or-nothing thinking and thinking in extremes.[https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-splitting-425210].
