Do you give yourself credit or praise very often?

They say a pat on the back is just 18 inches away from a kick in the ass.

I know I make mistakes along the way but I also do my share of good deeds, in the end I think things balance out.

I do not give myself praise because I don't deserve it. If I would do something to earn it then yes I would. But at this tier in my life I'm a lazy bum with no goals etc. Maybe ill get back up n fight and maybe I wont. I give others praise though. Many people around me are accomplishing great things. The world moves faster than me.

It took many years of being in a relationship where I was constantly put down to finally turn around and realize I was better than that. I'm just coming out of it now but yes, I pat myself on the back when I do something good. I strongly believe in self-worth. Not narcissism but in genuinely recognizing that you are a good person and noting your strengths.

I think if people honestly evaluated themselves and did some self-love there would be less people taking advantage of others and a lot less self-destructive behavior. You have to love yourself before you can love someone else. You also do NOT need someone to make yourself feel good. But if you don't like yourself you will just wander aimlessly searching for someone else to complete you.
