No matter how hard I try, I still keep making spelling errers.

Too bad.  When spelling is important, I'd better use a dictionary.
I can't stand writing, but I know that I should do it perfectly
I should be able to do better. Everyone must think I'm stupid.
This wraps it.  I'll never be able to get ahead.

I've been assigned an urgent but obnoxious task at work.

I like not doing hard things.
I'm no good for avoiding this.
Something terrible will happen if I don't complete the work.
It would be better just to do it even though I don't like it nor feel like doing it.

I keep doing favors for my friends, but they never seem to do things for me.

Those <CENSORED> should repay these implied debts.
Maybe nobody really likes me.
I'd better decide whether I really like these people as they are.
I guess that I'm not really worth doing things for.

I accidentally hit and killed my neighbor's cat while parking my car.

It's so sad and unfortunate. I hope I can partially make up for the loss.
Nothing ever goes right in my life.
No punishment I could suffer would be enough to atone for this.
I hope my neighbor doesn't find out who did it. I couldn't stand her reaction.

Recently, I've found myself attracted to a member of my own sex for the first time.

I could never tell anyone. It's awful if I'm not normal.
It would be terrible if I turn gay; it mustn't happen.
If it keeps happening it may cause some changes in my life. I'll have to learn to cope.
I'll have to kill myself if it happens again!

My mother never wanted to hold me when I was a child.
55

54

I can never get over her lack of love so life isn't worth living.
If my mother didn't love me, I know that nobody else could.
I want to hurt her and others like her before they hurt me again.
My own bad childhood can help me understand others better.

I was attacked by a dog when I was six. Now I see dogs almost every day.

I'd have a heart attack if a dog ran up to me.
I'm a total baby for not being able to overcome this fear of dogs.
People shouldn't have dogs in public when so many people are afraid of them.
Maybe I'll never love them but I can tolerate them without agonizing.

My doctor told me that I will require major surgery.
34

37
It's no big deal; I don't care if I die.
I'd rather kill myself than have a painful operation.
I want to do everything necessary to preserve my health, and I hope it won't be too painful.
I'm not strong enough to handle it. I'll go crazy.

An old friend has been horribly depressed about his divorce for months.
41
33
44
38
38
I don't care how he feels any more, the fool.
He should grow up and stop dumping his problems on me.
It's terrible seeing people suffer.  I should be able to help him.
It's too bad. I wish I could be of more help to him.

I'm with a friend, meet an old friend, and can't remember her name.
36

58
36
I hope she doesn't feel hurt, but its hardly my worst flaw.
This proves I don't really care about others. She should never speak to me again.
I have to remember right now or it'll be awful.
I'm a total fool for not remembering.

I just paid an auto shop $400 to fix my car, but it isn't any better than before.

Things never go right for me.
What a fool I am for getting sucked in.
They had no right to rip me off!
This is a real pain!

All of my possessions were destroyed in a massive fire.
30

25
25
This couldn't have happened.  I don't know what to do.
I'd love to kill the one responsible for this.
This is the most terrible thing that could happen to me!
I guess I'll have to start my possession-gathering all over again.
12
1
I sometimes think to myself that I don't get enough affection from my spouse/lover.
12
37
33
17
37
It must be that I'm not good enough.
I'll talk with him/her and find out what's wrong.
S/he should give me more loving.
My life is miserable because I never get what I need.

Some of my best friends are encouraging me to join them in using cocaine.
33

25
They have no right to keep bugging me about it.
I'm sure to lose their friendship if I don't, so I have to.
They can do it if they want, but I won't.
I'll use with them.  I can't resist it.
14

I'm too fat/thin.
12

It's awful that I can't control myself.
I guess that I haven't tried hard enough.
Why can't I eat like other people can?
I should have eaten differently all these years.

My doctor told me to quit drinking.

I really enjoy getting buzzed! Too bad, but since it's bad for me I'll have to stop.
Heck with him!  I shouldn't have to stop doing anything I like.
I hate this! He should find a way to let me continue to drink without bad effects.
How awful!  Life won't be any fun without alcohol.

I'm going to a job interview tomorrow.

This is an excellent opportunity if I don't make major mistakes.
I don't care how it goes.
I would feel awful if I don't get hired.  I know I'm not good enough.
I know they'll hire me-I'm better than anybody.

I'm starting class to improve my career opportunities.
82

It'll be great!  It'll make me into a millionaire.
I'm not intelligent enough so I probably won't benefit much from this.
I think this course may improve my vocational status.
There's no point in this; even if it helps it won't help enough.

I was walking down the street and sombody shot a gun in my direction.

I could get hit!
I mustn't get hit!
I'll be okay!  They're not shooting at me.
Oh, boy!  Some excitement here.

The medication my doctor gave me made me feel worse.

That S.O.B. gave me the wrong stuff.  He shouldn't have!
I'd better check with him/her and make sure that it will really make me better. What a pain in the neck!
That's alright.  I'm sure it'll work out because doctors don't make mistakes.
I'll never believe anything a doctor tells me again!

My daughter was just raped.
23

78
45
78
That will teach her a lesson!  I told her not to dress that way.
I'd like to kill the S.O.B. who did this to her!
This is very bad!  It'll probably take her a long time to come to terms with this.
If I would have raised her to know what to do, this couldn't have happened. How can I ever face people?

My doctor told me I'd better lose weight or I'll die early.
79

Doctors are always trying to make my life hard.  Besides, I've never dieted successfully, anyway.
I've never dieted successfully before.  I probably will die of overweight.
I've never dieted successfully before.  So this time I really will give up a lot of things I love.
I've never dieted successfully before, and I feel fine. Besides, I don't really believe in statistics.

I bet my last dollar and lost it.
56

I'd better not let anyone know about this one!  They'll think I'm stupid.
Oh, brother!  I must be an idiot for doing this.
Oh, well!  I don't care, anyhow.
This is a real disappointment.  I sure could have used some money.

I have just been asked to speak in front of a large group.

105
20
20
I'm afraid that I'll feel terribly ashamed if I make a mistake.
I'm uncomforatable with more than one or two people at a time.
What a great opportunity to prove that I'm better than anyone else.
I'll prepare well, and present it as well as I can.
24
1
My spouse constantly ridicules my body.
46
86
30
55
46
I used to think s/he was kidding, but maybe I'd better do something about it.
I really shouldn't be so out of shape.
I'll never be able to satisfy her/him.
She has no right to do that to me!

I found that I have inoperable cancer.

I would be terrible if I die.  It mustn't happen
Everything I've worked for all my life is gone. Nothing was worthwhile.
I will make the best of the rest of my life.
I should have taken better care of myself.
26

I want to sing but my friends ridicule my singing.
56
68
69
19
19
It would be awful if they'd laugh when I sing.
They shouldn't make me feel inferior.
I should be able to do what I want.
I wish they'd take me more seriously.  It's too bad they don't like the way I sing.
27
1
A person I really like is attracted to me, but I haven't told him/her I have herpes.
79
87
37
58
37
I don't really care whether s/he catches it or not, as long as I get what I want.
It'd be awful to get rejected if I tell her/him.
I hope s/he realizes that we can still have sex if we're careful.
I'm no good for not having told him/her before.
28
2
A person I really like is attracted to me but I have'nt told her/him I'm a recovering alcoholic.
37
63
67
22
37
If I'm honest with her/him, it might work out as I'd like it to.
I know that if I tell the truth I'll be rejected again.
I know that someone that attractive couldn't like someone like me.
It will be sad when s/he rejects me.

My stepfather used to sexually molest me.
107
45
14
68
107
I'll be careful, but want very much to find someone I can love.
It was all my fault because I let it happen.
You can't trust anybody.  I'll never let anyone get close to me again.
He shouldn't have been so sick.  He damaged me forever!
30

I worked real hard and did an excellent job.
83
84
81
12
83
How nice.  It all worked out fine.
That proves I'm a better person than the others.
It's no big deal.  It can't help me anyhow.
If I weren't so stupid I could have done it without working so hard.  It just proves I have no brains.
