Hello Gabyunbound: Well... the Skeezyks is a master at self-denigration. And every bit of it is well deserved! (Is it negative self-talk if all of the bad things you think about yourself are actually true? I don't know...) Personally, I don't tell myself anything, to try to make myself feel better, simply because I know all of the bad things I think about myself ARE true. I simply strive to accept myself just as I am... with compassion...
