Hi anita,
I think we bully ourselves because:
1. When we have space and time to think, we fill in the void with these thoughts
2. We are keeping ourselves in line
3. We are social beings and actually take cues from negatives and hurts to fit in with the group
4. We do this because negatives warn us of danger and death (on a primal level)
5. In the old days, if you were cast out of a group, that often, literally, meant death
6. When you’re having a great time at a party, or are trying to help someone, we don’t bully ourselves at all! I notice it’s only when we’re alone, with time on our hands.
Sorry if my thoughts are so jumbled. They came all at once!
Maybe this is why spiritual masters encourage meditation, being happy with our own company and non-attachment!
Anita, you are Great!
Please Change the Script in your mind! 🙂
