And sometimes that chipping away becomes an end in itself. We start expecting it, becoming comfortable with it, becoming somehow dependent on it to validate us in our own negativity. This is why we need the love and support of others. No one is an island and while it is wholly commendable and in fact necessary to love yourself, you also need to allow yourself to be loved by others

No negativity! There's enough around, especially if we were raised with that inner voice that judges all the time. Go Jan!
