Calm - Find your calm. Sleep more. Stress less. Live better. What Is the Negativity Bias? The negative bias is our tendency not only to register negative stimuli more readily but also to dwell on these events. Also known as positive-negative asymmetry, this negativity bias means that we feel the sting of a rebuke more powerfully than we feel the joy of praise.

In almost any interaction, we are more likely to notice negative things and later remember them more vividly. Something missing or broken? PRs welcome!
