You grow up with people telling you you’re bad and you believe it. Later people tell you you’re good but it feels wrong because you believe you’re bad.

But what if I am bad?

Who told you that you are bad? Can you trust their assessment? Was their assessment correct at the time of assessment? Have things changed since that assessment? Did they know everything about you to be able to make that assessment? Bad in what way? In every way? How could that be possible?

We barely understand ourselves, how can we rely on anyone to make that judgement?

I was never told that I was bad, opposite of that, I was told to be bright and smart

Thus, I compared myself to others.

Except I never found myself to be better or equal in my comparisons, I felt lesser than, worse and irrelevant
