Do you often feel proud of yourself?

Very, very rarely, Fuzzy. Once in a blue moon.

Mostly I feel pretty bad and discouraged about myself, as if I'll never be able to do anything right.

Are you a good person, do you do you treat others as you would like to be treated. If yes you are a great and honorable person.

for me, it isn't as much about ''doing things''

its more about toxic conditioning from abusers

It's hard to remember what being proud of myself feels like. I think most of us are here because of the toxic messages we received while growing up. I always heard that nothing I did was ever good enough, that I was annoying and constantly in the way, that anything I did succeed in was simply expected and anything I failed in was a world-shattering disaster. I'm working hard to get past this, but so far I haven't had much success. That black hole materializes, especially at this time of the year, and it's my own mind that creates it.
