If I knew "
how" to go there, I would. She tells me that I have such a negative self image about myself that I assume others do too. This causes me to get hurt over and over by things people say or do because I take it the wrong way.
In my career, I am professional. In my everyday life, people think I am fine. I have been told many times that I carry myself in a manner that speaks "
Authority Figure", "Very Controlled", and "Confident". That is bizarre. So far from who I think I am.
With others I can play the role, but with myself, I can't really do that because my negative self image won't let me accept myself for some reason. I don't have any real reason to be so hard on myself, so why am I doing this? I sure wish I could figure that out.
