Although I do agree with you, I feel the same way constantly. I do have enough of background to cut myself a break occasionally. I have been studying mind control, self-help, psychology and much more since I was 12 years old. Currently I am taking an online course from Berkeley called "The Science of Happiness". One thing that I have learned over the years is self-compassion, it has got me through some very difficult times.

Many people are compassionate toward people in general but not towards themselves for some reason. Start by finding a definition of self-compassion that makes sense to you and then apply it yourself as you go through life. You may be very pleasantly surprised.

Have a great day everyone!
Thanks for this!
