“I always mess things up.”
“I'm not good enough.”
“Everyone else is doing better than me.”
When these thoughts show up repeatedly, they can start to feel like facts rather than interpretations.
Try stepping back and asking yourself:
- What evidence actually supports this thought?
- Am I overlooking anything that contradicts it?
- Would I speak this way to someone I care about?
You don't have to replace every negative thought with a positive one. Sometimes the first step is learning to look at yourself more fairly.
Therapy can help you recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop a more balanced perspective.
