I appreciate the concern! I joke about my issues, so it's like 50/50 a joke and it's real lol

I have a very hard time with self compassion because I feel like it's undeserved or a lie. If I hate myself for reasons x,y,z I feel dishonest expressing self compassion, I feel that the hatred is well deserved.

I'm horrible with double standards though: you're a human and humans make mistakes and can change, but for me I would attack myself relentlessly lol

Of course you’re welcome. I’ve gone through similar thought patterns and it sucks to be stuck in a head space like that. Glad you’re half joking, rooting for you to lock down that second half.

Don’t be stranger if you need one. Good luck.
