the cruelest thing that people often experience, is what they do to themselves. youre worthy of love and you deserve so much, so why do you let yourself treat you this way? You wouldnt let yourself treat anyone else that way. Being happy looks good on you

the problem is that if anyone else treated me the way I treat myself, I would feel justified being shitty to them in return. so I guess I’m locked in a cycle of getting revenge on myself 💀

Well. You could try being better to yourself slowly. And then make that even, no? It just takes a step. Little stuff. Dont call yourself something that you wouldn't call others... You know? It looks good when you believe you look good.

agreed! well said 🫡 for me the most effective tool so far has been to examine the ethical logic behind why I wouldn’t say a particular thing to another person, and to commit to that as a principle. like, ever since I recognized that insulting someone else’s appearance = reinforcing a shallow & harmful hierarchy, I’m less liable to go so hard on beating myself up over how I look
