It’s called negativity bias. It’s an evolved trait passed down from our ancestors. Only the people with anxiety who devoted a lot of conscious thought to unpleasant possibilities lived long enough to reproduce, passing on those tendencies.
I’m not sure if ADHD has anything to do with it, but it’s possible that there’s even more focus on negativity as a result.
We aren’t made for this world. It’s too easy to survive for us. We’re bored. It makes sense now.
Adhd kids gets more negative feedback on average, so just more of the negative stuff worsening this negative bias
