Being too hard on yourself

76% Normal
7 Comments

How many of you are "too hard on yourself"?

People tell me all the time, "Oh, dont be so hard on yourself"

But they dont get it. I was raised in a way that i became compelled (clinically diagnosed as "traumatized) to just be, "hard on myself".

Is It Normal?

    I'm pretty much like that; you are definitely not alone.

    You can take this energy to improve yourself. I'm very demanding towards myself, I'm a perfectionist.

    So in a way I'm hard to myself too, but I turn this into ambition.

    I was raised in a very condescending environment, and it took years of therapy to get over it.

    It's been said. I don't know, though, I usually just think people are too nice to me and it's undeserved.

      I think i know what you mean. when i receive a compliment i always tend to think that its undeserved, or they are being too nice (like you said). Fact i hate that more than "Being too hard on yourself"... I guess i dont know how to accept complements, thanks
