Community: Judging yourself
Each week, we gather our community’s wisdom. This week, we asked:
What are you judging yourself for?

"I'm judging myself for being unemployed even though being layed off was completely out of my control and I'm doing my best to find another job."
"Making one small mistake at work, triggering my anxiety."
"Not having a close group of friends. Even though I’ve realized that I outgrew a lot of them… Something about not having that tight knit group makes me wonder what’s wrong with me."
"I am judging myself for gaining back all the weight that took so much time and effort to lose. Then judging myself for judging myself so harshly. The cycle seems to never end."
