Yes I am,
Some days I am very harsh to myself, while other days I have a more positive attitude towards myself.
But these days when I am harsh on myself, I also vibrate this negative mood towards others and etc. i just noticed, that self criticism affects others too.

I’m extremely harsh on myself. I’ve gotten a little better about it but I still have a long way to go.
If something gets messed up my default is to blame myself. If I mess up and the person I’ve effected forgives me I often feel like I deserve more punishment.

I am harder on myself now than I used to be since the Advent of the voices that I hear because the voices that I hear constantly tell me that I am no good and criticize me

I am very harsh on myself. I like to view myself in a lighter fashion. I am trying to engage myself in a search to see what good qualities I possess and what improvement I can make to overcome illness.

Yes. Inner critic adds fuel to my anxiety and depression. Hard to deal with than actual critical people since it is more constant.

Sometimes I am hard on myself and it does me no good. Love yourself. Look for ways to become better but appreciate how far you have come and all that is good.

I think it’s good to ask myself what I could have done better, so I question the things I have said or done. I don’t think it’s good to apply shame to myself, so even if I’ve done something wrong, that doesn’t make me a bad person. This is a lot easier said than done, especially with topics that I’ve been shamed for in the past.

Yes. I self-criticize as punishment for things I’ve supposedly done wrong. My therapist and I are working on stop doing that.

I tend to be very hard on myself. I never feel competent or good enough.

I always have an internal dialogue that is extremely self-critical and it doesn’t help that my hallucinations are also very critical. I have a hard time valuing myself.

Constantly. It is one of my biggest problems, if not the biggest.

Me either. I always feel like a bad person. I know I’m not though.

I think being self-critical is in my genes. My mother’s cousin, Carmen Argenziano, indicated that he didn’t get enough confidence as an actor until late in life, in one interview that I seem to recall.
Then, there were my two grandfather marines teaching my parents to be self-critical…
Yeah. Probably in my genes and upbringing.

My dad was very critical of me and got angry at me alot. I try not to be too critical of myself and remain positive. Talk to yourself like you would talk to a good friend.
