Negative cognitive bias refers to a situation when thoughts that have negative nature have a greater effect on our psychological state compared to the thought with positive nature.

This could be seen in candace's situation. She heard the negative things that her friends said, and personalize all of those negative attributes to her own, which make her feel that she is the main target of their conversation.
