As I got older, I was able to turn those thoughts around. I tend to be a perfectionist, so I get hard on myself when something isn't done as perfect as I know I could have done it. But for the most part, I'm usually pretty kind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-kind-to-yourself-when-you-talk-to-yourself-in-your-head#post-675173 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:04:33 +0000 mrbee 675173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be really brutal to myself... calling myself dumb and an idiot and all sorts of things.</p> <p>Then I decided to stop berating myself, and to be kinder to myself. The funny thing is, I kind of miss beating up on myself. Maybe I'm a masochist or something... I guess I don't like to give myself a free pass on my various shortcomings.</p> <p>Are you kind to yourself when you talk to yourself in your head? What kind of things do you say to yourself? </p>
