Stop comparing
Comparison is the road to nowhere. You're good enough for yourself, and that's the MOST important thing.
Learn to appreciate yourself. Embrace the fact that every person is unique, not a copy of others. You are special with your own thoughts, your own talents, your own abilities and your own uniqueness. You may think that you are not good enough, or you may cultivate your uniqueness and develop talents.
Other people may have different values and that's why underestimate your life, but why should you care about others' opinion❓
It's much more important how you feel about your changeable life.
Recognize yourself as a unique individual with special abilities and talents
GOOD MORNING 🌸🌸

Summary:
Why We Self Criticize
Often, a highly critical inner voice stems from internalizing criticism during childhood as a self-protection mechanism. This internal critic aims to prevent errors, as mistakes were heavily criticized or even punished in the past. While this mechanism may have been useful in childhood, it often persists into adulthood, unnecessarily lowering self-esteem and quality of life. It's important to understand that this self-criticism is an outdated defense strategy, not a reflection of your worth.

Yes, it is a very deep and incumbent particle of our life. However, it is defunct into two opposite consequences. Along with it, negative vibes are enriched with painful and detrimental experiences. It occurs when our lovable person differs from our life with reason or without also.
Beyond our downpours of tears, broken hearts, and noxious sadness. Novel aspirations always hold for us which is accountable for our new robust positive vibe. Although, we have to take some steps forward for mustering up.
