How do you see yourself?

When you see yourself in your minds eye, how do you see yourself? What do you think of yourself? Is that option right, or skewed to far to the positive or negative?

I know I am my own worst critic.

I see myself as I was 7 years ago, when I was in Vancouver taking my SCUBA instructor course. Where I was at my fittest (debatable), but even then I don't have a good view of myself. And then if I look in the mirror I get frustrated.

I am my own worst critic.

I don't like my personality...

I don't like how I look.

I have horribly average looks, need to loose a few pounds, with a personality that could choke off a room.

that's how I see myself.

But is my perception correct?

We are our own worst critics.

I have been told that I am funny, and a good person with a heart of gold... But that's not how I see myself.

I have been told I am pretty, with beautiful eyes, and am hot to some... But I don't see myself that way.

Why are human beings are we so critical of ourselves?

What can one do to change their perception of themselves to a more positive one?

How can you see your self as you actually are?
