I used to do this all the time, especially if I was aware that there was some element of true in the comment, even though I knew it was a destructive thing to do, I just didn't seem to be able to separate my feelings, hurt and upset from the comment.

The more this happened the more negative comments, low emotions and bad energy I absorbed like a sponge soaking up water from a dripping tap, until you reach the point of overflow and trust me being overfilled with bad energy, low vibrations and negativity is not a place you want to go!

So what happened when I reached this overfilled state? My body physically crashed and I literally was too ill and weak to get out of bed. It lasted for months and it wasn't the first time this had happened to me, and each time it reoccurred it seemed to be worse, more severe and harder to recover from. So my advice is don't go there! Don't take on board all the negative comments said to you or in your environment, because they really are not serving you at all.

I read a quote, that really is so so true:-

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”      ― Eleanor Roosevelt
