I am bad. Not terrible, but, I deserve all the bad things happening me because I’m not a good person. Now I think there’s worse things than being a bad person in this world but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m bad.
I wish I could explain more of why I’m bad but there’s some people here that keep reporting my post, I feel I had to remove the original. I though this place was better than reddit but apparently I’m asking too much…
So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?
Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.
What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.
Negative self-talk doesn’t help.
Of course it doesn’t, but plenty of mental health issues involve negative self-talk, so it’s unlikely they’re doing this on purpose.
One sure-fire way to get someone to do negative self-talk their whole life is for their parents to talk down to them and put them down at any and every opportunity. Ask me how I know.
Being negative is all I can do
