https://thoughtcatalog.com - It’s no secret that we’re often harder on ourselves than we are on other people. We make goals or simply tell ourselves to be better people—maybe become more confident, less jealous, more grateful—but when we don’t improve ourselves immediately or make one slip up, we beat ourselves up for it. We constantly criticize ourselves or make comments about our own failings: our so-called stupidity, ugliness, unlikable or awkward personality, or some other undesirable traits of ourselves. We make it known one way or another, whether through making jokes at our own expenses or straight up admitting to our friends that we don’t like much about ourselves, if we like anything at all about ourselves.
