1)Others are reacting to you
2)Comparing yourself to others
Alternate thought-Check it out, We all have strengths and weaknesses, comparison is meaningless

Alternate thought-Check it out, generate alternate interpretations

*Shoulds-A Set of rules you or others must follow or you are disappointed
Alternate thought-My rules are flexible, values are personal

Im not sure if there are more. These are what I was given to practice with.
Thanks, so much!!
