Note to self

To reflect on what informs our perception and opinion about others but most importantly how we also think of ourselves

Constant self criticism and even constant criticism of others might be coming from a place of hurt, rejection, pain, not being acknowledged or validated at some point in life

Growing up in an environment where there is constant criticism can convey a message of

“ not being good enough”
“something is wrong with me “

Often with difficulty accepting yourself. Lack of self acceptance.

Self validation & self affirmation can ease such feelings /thoughts of not seeing self or others as good enough or capable, constantly & overly critical

However, insight into how you think & what informs your thoughts/feelings is a great indicator to your emotional & social intelligence.

Most importantly how you treat others is a great reflection of how you really feel about yourself
