I always assume every bad quality applies to myself :s

I think this might be because I have social anxiety and I am insecure. Say on movies and tv, when there is a character who has an annoying trait or everyone in the show dislikes something about them.. I'll always dig deep and try to see if it applies to me and if I do that annoying thing.

It's like I can't see an annoying trait without assuming I probably am like that to some people. I seem to think that I'm not a likable person, although I've been told different. It's just that my mind always tries to find things wrong with myself.

Is it normal to think like this and to always assume you have negative qualities and not see the good qualities? I'd say the amount of negative qualities I see in myself outweighs the good for the most part.. I just wonder if this is a common problem?

    • I agree.. it holds me back quite a bit. I wish I could be confident and not worry about it because I think I'd be able to be myself no matter what around everyone.
