🔗 You can choose to be kind // Cory Dransfeldt // coryd.dev

I struggle with the be kind to yourself bit — I’m extremely self critical and I find it hard to get past that, I always have. I imagine it’s a blend of imposter syndrome and the lack of confidence that that stems from.

I have a friend who, whenever someone puts themselves down by saying, “I suck at this,” or similar, will respond, “Hey! Why are you talking bad about my friend like that?”

It’s a good reminder to treat yourself as you would treat a good friend. And good friends don’t disparage each other.
