One of the things I've been exploring is where my sense of self is and what it's doing. I've found that I spend a lot of time imagining myself as someone looking at me and disapproving.
Obviously, sometimes I do need to check my behavior, but what I'm seeing seems more like an emotional habit.
I don't know whether you've got the same habit (even if you're got something similar, it's probably shaded differently), but I do recommend gentle exploration of what's going on in your stream of consciousness.
Ah! Thank you.. I find that describes precisely what's most wrong (currently) with my own sense of self. Earlier I would go days thinking about something that I said/did which probably nobody else noticed and feeling bad about it. One way I've recently started managing it is by actually forcing myself to notice similar mistakes made by people I like and respect and realizing that nobody thinks less of them for those slip ups.
