I'm super bloody hard on myself, harder than anyone else ever could be. I project this a lot, too. I think other people are thinking about me the same way I think about myself. I've found this isn't actually true. I think I suck; other people think I rock. I convince myself they're a bunch of lying, manipulative bastards. I sabotage myself to bring "their" view of me in line with my own, which is actually just me being really shitty to myself. Sometimes I have to slow way, way down and remind myself to treat myself like I would any other human. This is harder than it seems like it would be. When my brain's being really mean, sometimes I tell it to STFU and to be nice... to me! Let's treat me like I would if I were 5. That works well. PB&J and candy, good. Stop being so mean to Berks, Berks. He's just a dude, man!!

Yea
I think treating yourself like you are own your best friend or seeing yourself as a child, really changes the way you treat yourself.
