It surprises me how I can say things to myself that I wouldn't be caught dead saying to anyone else.
And yet even though I wouldn't want to say those things to someone else, the negativity and criticalness do come out to other people.
My counselor at one point had me write down some of those negative tapes that run in my head and then counter them with a phrase I'd rather say to myself. That was a hugely helpful exercise.
