Oh fuck yeah. The other day someone told me (after I was being very unfair with myself) that I should treat myself at least how I would treat a good friend that I care about. It was very enlightening. Because it's absolutely rigut and I can't believe I wasn't even doing that.

No no I don't I'm over wait and lazy. Found out I'm vitamin D deficient that is causing fatigue and depression combined with something wrong with my liver that is doubling up on it. I done this to myself by not making better choices what I'm doing now to change it is not enough.

I don't like the word "deserve" like I can't get past the idea of some all encompassing calculation going on, like on the Good Place tv show, where there is an actual calculated result based on my life's actions showing what I "deserve" and I'd be afraid its not great.

As dumb as it sounds, sometimes I don’t think I do. Countless failures on different fronts really mess with your shit man....

You're at your starting point. Making ANY positive changes, no matter how small, will yield huge benefits in the long term. Pick one or two small, actionable things you can do each day. You've got this!

My therapist used to ask me "can you imagine ever talking to a friend or even a stranger that way? Then why do you talk to yourself that way?"

Sometimes people will say things like, well there I go again being, insert.....whatever personal insult. I will respond, don't talk to my friend like that.
It takes them a second. When my self talk is headed that way, I tell myself the same. It helps me shift my intentions.

In my 40s and have started paying attention to the concept of self love. Its not for everyone especially us men, but it has given me more patience with myself.

Sometimes I tell myself "well shit, it ain't gonna be the world and yourself against yourself," but then I remember my dire situation living in this country and how so far out of reach everything looks like and it's time to beat a dead horse again, unfortunately.

Possible, but unlikely for most people.

Life is unfair, but not necessarily to your disadvantage.

Garbage regurgitated Twitter Screenshot "advice". Equivalent to posting live laugh love

Situational, so I'd partly agree. I'm already egotistical at times. I don't want to risk elevating that to naracism on a whim...

...again.

I often say something like this to my one friend who isn't kind to herself:

"If someone walked in here talking to you like you talk to yourself, I'd kick their ass, because that person is a total dick."

Thank you so much. I have a presentation for a job coming up, and I'm scared to death. The last time I had to speak in public, my hands were shaking so bad people were laughing at me.
