I know, i know! I know this one!

For me, anyway. My parents never treated me as anything special. Even tho i got like all A's almost?! I was generally recognized as the smartest of all my cousins, of which there were many, like 60! Still, nothing special.

Being kind to yourself would mean treating yourself the way someone else might treat you, if they thought you were someone special. Most or some people? - their parents thought that, and did that, so people know what it means. Some people learn it from their therapists if theyre lucky. otherwise we keep trying to do it for other people, without realizing we really want it for ourselves.
