  Self-deprecating language

  Posted by tre-larosa on July 29, 2019 at 7:58 pm

  

  I’ve found that whenever I make what I perceive to be a mistake, the language I use to talk to myself is dehumanizing. I call myself dumb or an idiot or worse. I’ve started to recognize how bad that is for my self-esteem and self-compassion. But whenever a friend vents to me, I’m understanding, empathetic, and nonjudgmental.

   

  1. How do you talk to yourself when you make a mistake? Are you hard on yourself?
  2. How would you talk to a friend if they were to make the same mistake?
  3. Are you working on this? Does it take a negative toll?
