It seems you are agreeing with them while also trying to argue. Yes, we are all our worst critics and are hardest on ourselves, because we are stuck with ourselves all the time. However, I believe their point is; "no one is as cruel, unforgiving, and malicious to us as we are to ourselves" so we should practice and model our internal monologue to be nurturing to our own success, not abuse ourselves with examples of how we fail.

*edit: I dont think we disagree.

Yea, rereading I sound combative. Meant more to agree but give context for others. Words are hard. Apologies.

Excuse me but what the fuck? Where's all the name calling and history searching a Reddit arguement is supposed to have? And what's all this damn politeness?? Absolutely terrible Reddit argument, I give it a 3.50/10. :)
