I have a tendency to criticize myself too much?!

I have a tendency to criticize myself too much?

You know I realised earlier I am very hard on myself.

how can i learn to control this aspect of myself more? it can be quite upsetting.

yes looking back I can remember a lot of negative criticism from my parents and teachers.

I can't remember anyone telling me "you did that really well" or giving me positive feedback like that.

Ah man, why do people like to screw us up when we are just little kids ?

surround yourself with people who really really like you ... and believe in what they have to say about you...

no, sorry .. I was joking, of course

well ... I get like that very often ... other people told me that I shouldn't feel like that, and that I should concentrate on things that are so good about me .. and then they start pointing them out,and I feel like: well, it's nothing special, everyone can be like that or do what I did .. or .. if they remind me of something I can't deny so easily .... then I feel like I was just very good at cheating them ... like I was playing tricks ... when they say 'thank you' I always feel guilty ...

how stupid is that?

now, if this sounded stupid when you hear it about someone else, why wouldn't it be in your case?
