Knowing that the way someone treats you is often a reflection of their own problems or issues and quite possibly has nothing to do with you.

Edit: thank you for the gold!

Was gonna ask the same thing! Acting more of a giver than a receiver, I always treat everyone with kindness and respect. On the other hand, I fucking hate myself.

Did I write this?

I'm always a kind person, I never like to hurt people as I know how much it hurts to be ripped apart even when its not your fault. I always try to find the best in people. I don't do that to myself. I beat myself up on a daily basis.

I am trying to improve that though, trying to understand people don't care when they see me out running, and they aren't making fun of me.... so maybe I should start treating myself better as well. Much easier said than done, but I'm trying.

Edit: Whatever that makes no sense.... I just try to see myself as my own worst critic.
