<p>Every person on our planet has their worst critic. Someone who makes their lives miserable with constant negativity, insults, doubt, and guilt-tripping. Often times that person is a close family member or even a &ldquo;friend&rdquo;.</p> <p>More often than not though, that person is YOU. So many people are so hard on themselves. We do not often treat ourselves the way we deserve to be treated. And that&rsquo;s a damn shame.</p> <p>How did we end up in this miserable place? Has it always been this bleak and miserable for so many of us?
