This is just a fictional diary entry I’m writing – yes, it’s based on my own personal feelings I’ve had, but it’s mainly fiction. Enjoy!

Dear Diary,
Okay, I admit it – I’m extremely self-critical.
I’m always hard on myself.
And I do underestimate myself a lot.
BUT
I think some of the compliments and praises I receive are VERY inaccurate – either the person is extremely exaggerating to try and make me feel better or genuinely believes what they are saying but is really overestimating me.
I KNOW I underestimate myself.
Stop telling me that.
Start wondering if sometimes – not saying all the time, just sometimes – that you seriously overestimate me, my abilities and who I am.
Don’t patronise me.
Stop telling me that I’m just not being honest with myself.
Cause I am trying to be – I know I see myself badly, I know I need to fix this, I know that I’m probably better than I think…but I also know I’m not everything you probably think I am.
There.
Rant done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you enjoyed.
