A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Anwar White explaining the psychological concept of negativity bias. The speaker describes how people remember negative experiences more strongly than positive ones and applies this to dating: even many positive interactions can be outweighed in memory by a single negative comment or experience.

For example, you say, what is the reason I hold on to bad memories more than the good ones? We, as humans have a negativity bias. So this is also one of the things that makes dating so tricky. It's because you could literally have half good things, half bad things happen to you in dating, but you will only remember the bad things.
Just like for many of us, we could have 99 people.
Say great things, and one person says, not so great, we're gonna harp on that not so great thing.
It's negativity bias.
