External Criticism and Self-Loathing

Criticism can drive a person up a wall.  You can torture people with criticism.  Now why would you go and do something like that.  It harms people psychologically.  Do you really want to be that kind of person?

I don't think you do.  A lot of people's hostility comes from self-loathing.  How do people get to be self-loathing?  Lots of ways.  Sometimes its family, sometimes friends turn on you, women leave you, the TV berates your position.  People become self-loathing.  It's no good.

Try to think about something about yourself that you like.  Focus on it clearly.  Your life has worth.  You have worth.

It's ok to be self-critical to a point, but don't rip out your hair screaming with self-criticism.
