I used to do this thing where I thought I was somehow protecting myself from other people by putting my own self down before they had to opportunity to. I guess maybe I thought they wouldn't have to say it if I had. I'm talking about elementary school age. I thought I had gotten over that, but I am disappointed to discover that I'm still doing it. Going to try to replace those kinds of thoughts with something else, if I can catch myself. Does anybody else do this?
