Are these your thoughts???
When I mess up I say self-deprecating things such as “Stupid, Stupid, Stupid”, “I’m such a loser” or “I can’t do anything right”.
I run into obstacles that keep me from reaching my goals. Even when I do my best, I feel guilty about the things that were not done perfectly. I am able to stop thinking about my problems. I am bored most of the time. I feel like I worry about things that other people don’t even think about. When someone I care about is sad, I feel sad too. Some people make me feel bad about myself no matter what I do. I am not satisfied with my work unless someone else praises it. Everything I try to do ultimately ends in failure.

“Most of us have learned not to trust our emotions. We’ve been told emotions distort the more “accurate” information our intellect supplies. Even the term “emotional” has
come to mean weak, out of control, and even childish.” helpguide.org
A form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to
guide one’s thinking and action. Salovey & Mayer
Emotional Intelligence is about engaging with others in ways that draw people to you.
