Dealing with Self Loathing
"You need to be kinder to yourself."
"I don't like hearing you talk about yourself like that."
"Who made you believe you were stupid?"
"No - stop it. No more cruelty."
"I don't know why you're so angry at yourself all the time."
"You don't achieve anything by hating yourself."
"Why do you doubt yourself so much?"
"Don't you know how incredible you are?"
"I'm not going to listen to you insulting yourself."
"I don't think you're any of the things you say you are."
"You're not meant to hate yourself."
"They lied to you, you know."
"Your nature isn't cruelty."
"I want you to see yourself how I see you."
"There's so much goodness in you."
"Stop saying these awful things."
"You're smart, you're funny."
"I want you to be proud of what you've achieved."
"It's like you're constantly tensing, expecting to be told off for being alive."
"You make me happy, you know that, right?"
"It's not about being the best. It's about being you."
"Just - trust what I'm saying. Please."
"Someone convinced you about all these awful things."
"You're not meant to feel this way about yourself."
"Why do you hate yourself so much?"
"I love you, no matter how little you think of yourself."
"Someone in your past let you down."
"I want you to take my hand, and take a breath, and understand."
"You have to know that you're none of these things they said you were. You're not a monster, or stupid, or cruel. You're a person. And that's okay."
