Default Is this true:

The belief that I hate the most that others have about me is what I really hate that I believe about myself?

I've been noticing that lately in my life, especially in relationships. That when I feel that someone else believes something in me, and I absolutely hate it and it keeps running in my head...then when I sit down and think about it, in truth, it's something I myself believe about myself and hate about myself. That's not to say that the other person doesn't believe it as well, but if it bothers me a lot then it seems most likely to be something I believe about myself as well.

This would mean that relationships and situations with other people provide a great opportunities to discover things about yourself that you hate, so that then you can know what to address. So, this means, instead of running away (or fighting irrationally), you can stay and put yourself in a lot of situations so you can see what gets reflected, so you can see what you hate that people believe about you so you can face it, realize it's there, and then go and figure out how to overcome that belief or address it.

I dunno, I just felt like posting this, it's something I was thinking a lot today in looking over my relationships and that dawned on me so hard.
