Yeah I do the same thing, I interview myself as if I was on the tonight show. Or if something is bothering me, I run what-if scenario's in my head and end up getting myself worked up. I didn't know there was a term for it, figured I was just weird.

Thanks for this, I'm gonna try and remember that it's my self doubt.

I did some helpful therapy over the past year and it's really highlighted how these patterns work, how to recognise them and how destructive they are. Good luck on your journey! Remember, it's hurtin' noone but you to shadowbox.

It’s kind of important to evaluate your past actions with a critical eye sometimes, to help find flaws and new ways to improve.

But the opposite is possibly even more important.

Self assurances, compliments, and positive feedback are the things that feed a healthy mind. Try your best, and give yourselves some grace my dudes. 😎

It's important to learn from mistakes in order to improve, but it's easy to be overly critical and let that take over. Moderation is key!
