I think I’ve finally figured out where this came from.

Growing up, my mom would constantly make negative comments about strangers. Their looks, their clothes, even the way they walked. She’d say it quietly under hear breath, but I’ve always heard it. Whenever I told her it was rude, she’d turn it back on me.

That voice from my mom became my negative thoughts.

I started assuming that other people were thinking the same harsh things about me.

It’s strange, because she’s been like this for as long as I can remember, even when I was a kid…

I’m trying to be more nicer to myself but it’s still hard.

Just wondering if anyone else related.
