Can reoccurring thoughts about the past that bring up apologetic or cringe feelings assist in clearing it or does it perpetuate it?
I have bad memories surface through my thoughts. It seems like any random memory is only a few degrees of separation from reminding me of something stupid I've done or said, causing anxiety and bad feelings about myself. I'll say to myself that I'm so stupid, or I'm such a weirdo, or that I'm sorry, I'm sorry... and I wonder if other people remember and judge me from it. Just wondering what the purpose of it is, if it's OCD or a chance to clear it or if it's a negative entity trying to bring me down.
my first thought upon reading your question was, "I can answer that!" but then I thought about my own looping thoughts, my own negative emotions about past events, and I thought, "perhaps I could use some help on that also!" thanks for asking that question!
@wingnut77 I often think these kinds of thoughts about myself too! Lately I'm trying my best to erase the negative self-talk as our thoughts and words are energy and creating our reality! But yes, I do often worry what people might think about something I've said or done, or not said or not done... Much as I know we can't control what other people think of us whether it's good or bad!
"The stories we tell ourselves..."
@wingnut77 Like the question/topic. Just saying I am interested in having this answered.
