    Breaking the Self-Loathing Cycle

    Miglior citazione da Breaking the Self-Loathing Cycle

    “

    If someone else talked to us the way we talk to ourselves, we'd cut them out of our lives immediately. There is no logical reason to treat ourselves worse than we'd treat anyone else we care about.
