You are your own critic.

Myself has always been my biggest bully.

“And stop beating yourself up over this!”

And stop tracking mud over my nice clean floors.

I’ve heard the expression that we’re our own worst critic but not that we’re our own worst bully. I guess in some ways it’s similar.

Curious as to where this is going to end up. But I do know there is more than one way to stand up for yourself.

That’s not bullying -that’s nagging.
