Recently, I've started running and doing more cardio, and I've been posting some of my run times, cardio times, my physique. And I've heard comments like, your run times aren't even that impressive. You don't even look that lean. You should be in better shape before you talk. And the craziest part is these comments aren't even coming from people on the internet. They're coming from my own thoughts in my head. You see, we as humans are usually the biggest assholes to ourselves. There is. We say things to ourselves we would never say to other people, and we are our biggest hater. So this is your friendly reminder: if you're treating yourself like an asshole, stop doing that shit. You're probably doing way more than you give yourself credit for. And while it's awesome to have goals and want to get better, you can do that without belittling yourself to make yourself feel like shit, because eventually you'll just get exhausted of that. Quit. So whatever you were about to comment down below saying nice things about me, you should say them about yourself as well.
