Is it just me or do you also rate yourself after group social interactions? Or one-on-one interactions, but the important ones?
Or, maybe after all of them?
On Monday, I gave myself something between a C and an F-.
This week, it suddenly hit me — this mental flagellation I often perform on myself isn’t tied to religion. It’s as if I haven’t really graduated from school.
A strict moral code I have to adhere to, a constant stream of criticism, a fear of being perceived as incapable and childlike.
It’s really exhausting, especially ‘cause I’m the only one being scrutinized, and I’m the only person in charge.
Do you punish yourself for anything? I’m trying to stop doing it, and it’s harder than I could imagine.
I hope you have a kind weekend, one where there’s only joy, and no punishments or feelings of guilt.
Awww that’s sweet..,..I hope you are being super kind to yourself.
Rid the guilt,rid all the things that make you feel shit.
Be awesome,and keep doing what you love. Most things are massive illusions, people seem to take the bait for
