People who suffer from anxiety are usually not being nice to themselves. Well, if you have friends that always criticized you, you would stop being friends with them, right?
If you suffer from anxiety, then you might be criticizing yourself a lot. And chances are, you don’t even notice it most of the time. Self-criticism can aggravate your anxiety. Whenever you feel confused, you start berating yourself, and this leads to even more confusion.
You can stop that by learning to be kind to yourself. When you make a mistake because of your anxiety symptoms, remind yourself that it’s okay to make mistakes and then start doing the task again.
Another thing you can do is not worry about something that went wrong immediately. When you’re doing something, and you feel like you messed up, please don’t start to worry about it right away. Instead, take 10 minutes each day to worry about anything that might have gone wrong during the day.
