The personal fable is a belief held by many adolescents that they are special and unique, and that their experiences and emotions are in some way extreme and unique to them. This can lead to a sense of omnipotence or invincibility, but also to a sense of despair or hopelessness when they face challenges or setbacks that they feel are beyond their control. The personal fable is one of several cognitive distortions that can contribute to emotional and behavioral problems in adolescence.
