Do you ever consider the possibility that your "negative" perception of yourself/the world isn't warped at all, but completely valid?
Put bluntly, maybe I don't suffer from an illness known as social phobia at all. Maybe I REALLY AM nothing more than an unattractive loser who has no social life, who should just commit suicide already and free the world of what amounts to a drain on resources which gives nothing back in return.
Pop psychology loves to think of self-confidence and belief in oneself in terms of positivity. But why? Believing than I am an ugly failure is surely just as philosophically valid as living in a fantasy world and believing that I am awesome.
