"You're so hard on yourself"

Sometimes you have to believe on what people are saying about you. All those positive words, and compliments, you shouldn't take it as pang-uuto. Usually, we are hesitant, we are doubting your own potential. Why? Because we are looking at the negative view of ourselves more often than the positive. We are so much focused on our flaws, shortcomings, that make us feel bad about ourselves.

Friend:  "Kaya mo silang talunin" 
You:  "Hindi, matatalo lang ako. Mas magaling sila kesa sa akin."

Minsan yung ibang tao pa ang nakakakita at nakaka-appreciate ng mga good qualities and accomplishments na meron tayo dahil nga sobrang hard natin sa sarili natin. And what's more sad is, minsan tayo pa mismo ang lumalait at nang-dodown sa sarili natin.

We should practice to love and respect ourselves because if we don't, no one else will.
