Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• When I name what’s wrong it comes out as a verdict already
• My mind keeps stacking up every reason I’m right that this went badly, and I can’t seem to see anything that points the other way
• One thing goes wrong and it instantly becomes a life sentence
• If I’m honest, I knew where I was going to land before I’d looked at anything
• Once I’ve made up my mind, I notice I only ever see the evidence that proves me right and the rest just slides past me
