Self-criticism is a painful process of internal self-criticism for this or that action. In some individuals this quality is developed to a greater extent, in some to a lesser extent. If self-criticism interferes with life and turns into self-destruction, then you need to get rid of it.
Who among us has not engaged in self-criticism. Someone strongly criticizes themselves, someone less. Self-criticism in small doses is even useful for a person, it stimulates him to improve himself and eradicate bad habits. However, sometimes it acquires such proportions that it is difficult for a person to live with it, and he is overgrown with various complexes.
The origins of self-criticism stem from wounded pride, the desire to rise, to be better than others. The more an individual criticizes others, the harsher his comments and conclusions, the stronger his self-criticism works. Such a person tries to fit everything into his own framework. He believes that he is right, while others are not. The main ways to calm the inner critic are as follows:
- be more forgiving to the mistakes of other people;
- to realize that no one is perfect;
- focus more on your own opinion, and not on the opinion of others;
- to understand that the ideal does not exist.
The world is quite diverse, it is impossible to divide it into black and white. There is no absolute truth, as well as an absolute lie, everything in the world is relative. There are no bad people or good people, everyone came to this world to go their own way, and it is different from yours. This does not mean that the other person is bad because he does not correspond to your ideas or moral norms.
