5 Reasons to Stop Criticizing and Accept Yourself as You Are

Life has not been very sweet for you. You've been through a lot and you've been through a lot. Every wound and every suffering has left its mark on your soul. You remember everything and many things still make you sad, which is not good at all.

You allowed the memories of the past not to let you see that you still won: you survived the disappointments, the anxieties, the criticisms, the accusations brought unjustly, the sufferings of love.

All of this made you who you are today. It's time to dump her and move on. It's time to love, to accept. Be proud of yourself. Here are some reasons why you should do these things and leave all the past and all the evil behind:

You had a not so easy childhood, that's why you learned to rely only on your strength

Who do children run to when they are scared, hurt, tired, and in need of support as children? At parents. Unfortunately, not everyone has this privilege. Not all children have someone to support and understand them. There is no one near them to give them a nice word or a hug.

You were one of those children. And you learned to do it yourself: to brag about yourself when you recited poetry beautifully on stage, to rejoice in good grades, to secretly wipe away your tears so that no one would see them…

You waited so long for a ray of light in your childhood that, in the end, you came to support yourself. Today, your only and first friend is yourself. That is why you receive and accept yourself as you are.

You have your truth and no one knows better than you who he is.

If you feel that they do not accept you, they do not value you, it is their problem, not yours. You have your truth. You don't have to apologize to anyone or stand in front of someone.

Every time someone tries to teach you how to live, to impose their truth on you, remember that you have the right to be yourself. You deserve more. If you always have your feet on the ground, no one will be able to break you.

Only you know what you had to go through.

Life has put you to the test. Only you know how much you have suffered from love, or from ignoring your parents, or from betraying your loved ones. But with all these trials, you are who you are. You have become stronger, wiser.

Now you understand that not everything is as simple in this life as it sometimes seems. There is a whole world in your soul. Therefore, what prevents you from loving yourself, accepting yourself as the strongest person who has gone through so many trials? Be better, more understanding of yourself. You deserve.

Criticism of those around you has nothing to do with you.

You had a lot to endure. People have judged you, condemned you, without knowing anything about you. You were criticized for not meeting someone's expectations, you were criticized for doubting yourself. Are you still haunted by these ghosts of the past?

But every time you still think you're not good enough or deserve more, remember that these are just echoes of the voices of those around you who have ever criticized you. You and only you know what you deserve and who you are. Only you have the right to judge and evaluate your actions.

Don't expect recognition from those who don't value you.

Ugly words and criticism have devastated you, ravaged you. Your identity has become dependent on what others say or think about you. You live only with the thought of what others will say about you or your deeds. Your mind is in the fog.

But this is ridiculous. These people don't care about you at all, they just throw expressions, words, phrases that have no rational meaning. It is not normal and logical to want to compare your life with their evaluations. You don't need anyone to value you. You've gone through a lot of trials and you have every right to decide what you deserve.
