Dose anyone experience this
Like just chilling having a good day then you start searching inside for something wrong something you done in the past or you start making things up just to lead you in failure

Yes. My mind is in a cycle of thinking negatively even when it doesn't have to. At all. I'm just so used to doing so that I now have to work on defaulting to more positive thinking

@5416 Have you ever considered that your self esteem may be low? I'm not saying this is the case, but it is for me combined with anxiety. Your mind may be used to anxious thinking since it's a learned behavior.

@5416 Well, low self esteem can make it difficult for you to have a good opinion of yourself, leave you anxious, and set yourself to lower standards than other people. This can come from something that may have happened to you when you were a child, such as a bad event, bullying, or criticism for your efforts. You could also try to watch videos to get an understanding of what it is. Low self esteem is really tough to deal with because it interferes with your life on how treat yourself, possibly treat other people, and what you want to do.

@BigGyro09 Wow big gyro this is opening me up to something sometimes some of the answers are right there in our personality makes sense also the way we view ourselves ultimately leads us to how we treat and be treated sometimes i wish i could just reset and build a new character it’s tuff looking at it like this is it change impossible but probably understanding it will help with acceptance and change honestly u opened my eyes to something thank you btw what are you doing to help yourself with this

@5416 I'm glad that I can help. I'm still trying to figure out how to improve on this, but know that it's not too late. You can find ways to improve your self esteem to a healthy standpoint. You can try to tell yourself positive things through affirmations, writing, or saying good things to yourself out loud. These may help.

fear of being a bad person because of past events
I look back at various past events in my life where I said or did things that I feel really guilty, disgusted, and ashamed about. I replay them in my head for hours. I feel anxious about crossing paths with people that I've hurt or upset in the past or who perceive me badly, to the point that I will avoid going out in public as much as possible. I go out for work, errands, appointments, and occasionally to eat (even though those all give me a lot of anxiety), but I avoid community events where people might recognize me and I tend to isolate myself. The only people I see regularly are my boyfriend, my parents, and my coworkers. I live in a small community and I'm worried about people confronting me publicly and proving what a bad person I must be.
