Self-Compassion vs. Self-Love vs. Self-Pity—What’s the Difference? Many people confuse these terms, but they shape how we relate to ourselves in very different ways.

Are you your own worst critic? Here’s how to transform self-criticism into self-compassion: Recognize that your internal dialog doesn’t all come from you!
