Subject: RE: BS: Talk Me Down from the Ledge...
You say you're hard on yourself, Bobert? Me too. Most of us are pretty hard on ourselves, because...
- we're more closely involved with ourselves than with anyone else.
- we know our own faults and failures firsthand, including all our little secrets.
- we expect considerably more of ourselves than we do of others.
- we live with our memories.
That can mean being pretty hard on yourself! As I get older I am finding it easier and easier to forgive most other people for whatever they may have done or not done....but I wonder if I will EVER succeed in forgiving myself!@%$! (for a large variety of presumed failures and imperfections)
