I still can catch myself calling myself a "dummy" or "idiot."

I think about how I moved through and beyond all of that — and more — and somewhere along the way, I stopped calling myself “stupid” or “an idiot.” I stopped seeing myself as not being as good or valuable as others. I no longer saw myself as deserving everything bad that ever happened to me. I stopped feeling like other people only tolerated me but couldn’t possibly actually like me.
