#sorry i need to eat dinner im feeling a lil loopy
Text
its interesting to me how self-deprecation neatly ties into making others feel bad. like. if you constantly assume that you’re stupid no matter how informed or skilled in a topic you might be, people who are a bit less learned or skilled than you might see how you, someone who is obviously skilled, talk down about yourself, and assume that if you think YOURE an idiot you must think theyre an even bigger idiot and lose confidence or find you intimidating as a result. its fucked up. and its part of why it can be so important to break out of cycles of self-hatred--not just for yourself, but for people around you
#speaking as someone who deals w imposter syndrome and self-hatred constantly. its just an important perspective to have#especially cuz when you deal with self hatred sometimes self improvement sounds less appealing if you only think it helps you#but understanding true self-confidence as something that can also be good for those around you kind of helps motivate me. idk#sorry i need to eat dinner im feeling a lil loopy
