I'm finally addressing my problems instead of drinking about them. Finally trying to be nice to myself after an entire lifetime of not doing that
When you gotta spend all day with someone it's good to stay friendly with them
It's funny now that you mention that. I always used that justification to try and keep on the good side of my coworkers, but never myself
I find myself sometimes thinking of my(past/future/criticism-receiving)self as a separate person because it reframes my treatment of that person. Sometimes I give the next guy a gift by cleaning shit up or otherwise preparing stuff to make his life easier, and thank the last one for his gift.
I have been doing that and it really helps! Self criticism becomes much more human and empathetic when I realize that I can accept the things that I find wrong in myself in other people
