discuss Are you negative about yourself?

[Ashake]

For real, do you feel guilty being hard on yourself? When you do something wrong, no matter how trivial, do you feel that you are a total failure? I do, and it is draining. I am learning to be more kind to myself. But it is hard to do sometimes. Does anyone else find it hard?

 

[Ja sa bong]

If I started feeling guilty about myself, it's over for me. This is what makes someone to become full of suicidal thoughts because he's failing at everything.

I'm an optimistic person even in a difficult and tough struggling situation. It's how I overcome.

 

[Harsh World]

I'm optimistic, but I think negativity as a form of motivation to prove myself right.

But if I do something wrong or fail at something, I don't dwell on it. It's better to learn from mistakes and move forward as fast as possible.

 

[Unvarnished]

Oh yes, absolutely, I'm sure we've all faced the same ordeal. For me, sometimes I'm being unfair to myself. When that happens, I try to reframe my negative thoughts by thinking about what I have done right and that always help me. Although, It's not easy all the time, but it really does work.

I'm all into self care to get out of such situation. Whenever I feel like I am putting myself down, I pull back a little bit and invest my time doing something that will actually lift my spirits. Engaging in anything to divert the mind from that negative thought.

 

[Niyi Brixx]

For everything in the world, I have a positive mental attitude towards myself. I always see myself as the best of my kind. That's why I give myself regal treatment. And what that does for me is that no one, no matter how highly placed, can talk down on me for any reason.

As a human being, we ought to have negativity creep in from time to time especially when being faced with a serious and tough challenge but it's someone's mindset that will do all the job. If the mindset is weak, the negativity will take over.

 

[Reelz]

At times I experience negative thoughts, but I don't allow it to ruin my mind. I try my best to reframe those thoughts positively. In my opinion, engaging in several activities, like exercising, proved quite useful in dealing with this situation.

 

[Zani]

There are times that I feel bad about myself, but I've learnt not to let those moments define me again. I am beautiful and worthy of everything that I have.

 

[Starmix25]

Sometimes I felt that way but I made amends to myself not to be negative about things that I couldn't materialize. I let myself stand where I fall to be happy again. I have to be kind to myself.

 

[Maina]

Not usually. I do have moments of self-doubt, but I try to remind myself of my strengths. It's a balance, acknowledging flaws without letting them define me.

Being positive minded even in times of challenges is very important because the positive energy will help put the person in the right frame of mind to find a solution.

 

[Starmix25]

It's crucial if you cannot outsmart your negativity. It must be outshine with positivity to see self worth.

 

[Yama]

Well, I am not negative about myself. But sometimes when I consistently fail, when I am in pain, anger or frustration. I start becoming harder on myself. But this is temporary matter.

 

[Starmix25]

Feeling something bad to self because of a failed task isn't forever. It disappeares after some hours. We must also give credit and be kind to ourselves.

 

[Kross]

I can never see myself in negative light for any reason. I am the best version of my kind and there is no one that can convince me that I am not. I am highly intelligent and I pride myself in that.

 

[Shortie]

One of my biggest faults is beating myself up when I get something wrong or when something doesn't go as I planned it in my head. I find that when I do something wrong, I tend to beat myself up a lot about it and that usually results in me losing confidence.

I am getting better at now putting myself down as much for mistakes as everyone makes mistakes, and it is all about learning from them, but from time to time, I still do put myself down when I really shouldn't.

 

[Fidelia1]

Looking at the things that I have been able to achieve for myself, I don't have any reason to be negative about myself. I am an excellent fashion designer that can craft her own designs from imagination. I am heavily talented. And I can't be negative about myself.
