    Nobody else lives in your head.

    Remember that. You’re likely one of the most abusive people in your life, and YOU CAN CHANGE THAT.

      This is so incredibly true. If I thought the things about others that I think about myself I’d feel so guilty, and like such a shitty, judgemental person. But I don’t. I only ever think them about myself. :/

        So I’ll say something I’ve posted several times - the way you remember things taints your memory. You remember that you have felt shame when remembering it.

        The act of remembering changes your memory.

        Forgive yourself. Laugh it off. Love yourself despite your failures, and it really does start to get easier.

      I was cringe as hell growing up, a real “EPIC FAIL” kinda kid. I grew up, but I also had to learn to not say EVERYTHING that came into my head.
