You have a fixed mindset.
You may believe that you are inherently good or bad at something, which matters when responding to mistakes, setbacks, or failures. With a fixed mindset, you may tell yourself "Ugh, I am so bad at this." when you make a mistake. This type of thinking reinforces negative belief, encourages you to give up, blocks learning paths in your brain, and is more likely to lead to repeat mistakes.
The good news is that you can learn to have a growth mindset! The next time you find yourself thinking in fixed terms, take note and ask yourself "what can I learn from this?"
