Who was it humiliating for? Who was it catastrophic for?

I tend to beat myself up...a lot. For lots of things. To be truthful, I have often wondered why I punish myself so much...it's almost like a need or a compulsion. I haven't thought past that though.

I am always shocked when people tell me (in honesty) what they think of me. I question it. I do not trust what they say or why they say it.

I have a warped sense of self.

How do we straighten out this warped sense of self that we have, Mr. Stranger?
