What are some of you core negative beliefs?

[Beautifullybroken38]

That I am a terrible person who is not worthy of love

[hunoms in reply to Beautifullybroken38]

I have this one too. Like I'm not doing enough for the people around me. How do you cope when you think negatively?

Unfortunately I am no there yet, I am a newbie, and I just realized this was a negative core belief. I have so many layers of issues I am not sure my therapist even knows where to start

Thank goodness don't have these thoughts as often only when i am in a depressed mood i say these things what’s the point of living in a negative world . I used to think that i was not a smart person and was being too hard on myself . That if i didn’t pass math I would be a failure and not go to college.

I feel shame a lot, and my brain quickly finds reasons for it if I’m not carefully paying attention. “You ought to be ashamed of yourself” seems to be in there somewhere. Sometimes, my feeling of shame has no reason. It’s just in there from childhood, as an implicit memory. Like if your mom shamed you as a kid for how you wash and core strawberries 🍓 you might feel shame around strawberries 🍓 and not really know why. You might have forgotten the underlying memory.

That there is no god or afterlife is one. Another is perhaps not a belief but rather, a shrinking probability that, as I grow older, I will meet someone else in a romantic capacity.
