This is definitely relatable, we give kindness to everyone except our self.

Ain't that the truth. Hopefully we learn to do better.

Good stuff bro 😁

Are open for recommending each other on substack? It'll help both of us. Let me know in DM if you're interested.

Nice. I help people heal from chronic physical and emotional pain and learning self-compassion is 100% part of the process. Self-compassion and learning to live life from a place of ease. It actually helps us get more done and we feel better in the process. I write on similar themes: https://open.substack.com/pub/queerresilience

Excellent article. This used to be me, and the critical facets can definitely rise up still. I catch it s lot better and pour on a lot of self-care, much more than I used to anyway!

The body image hit hard though. That's a rough one and yes, we (well, me) can be so unyielding and harsh when it comes to that!

Thank you. Loved this. 💜
