Do Not Beat Yourself Up
Self-Critique or Bullying?
We can compare self-criticism with salt; healthy doses of both enhance our taste in life. But anything taken in excess is harmful. The perception of self-critique should not be any different. If you continuously beat yourself up for every minor mistake and underachievement of life, this is high time you stopped! We all have had these experiences of being humiliated, bullied in our life. There will always be some people giving out negative energy. They will often try to manipulate you into believing that you are a nonstarter. When the world is loaded with toxicities and harsh criticisms anyway, why not be compassionate to yourself? It is essential to understand the thin line between criticism and bullying. You can sometimes criticize your decision, find fault with your personality traits—but make sure that you are not going too hard on yourself. Learning to hold sway over your overactive sentiments is as crucial as self-critique, if not more!
