I stopped all negative self-talk a few years ago and it really helps improve your self confidence
I actually managed to fully swing in the other direction and now make jokes exaggerating how smart/funny/amazing/beautiful I am. They’re much better jokes and don’t make others uncomfortable like self deprecating ones tend to

Something that helps me a lot is reminding myself that we all tend to evaluate our own actions under a microscopic lens, observing problems that others would never pick up on because they’re not looking at us that closely. We tend to be much more critical of our own actions than those of others. And everyone does it! So reminding myself of this fact helps prevent me from spiraling.
ALSO: It can be very helpful to bring up a concern about something you did or said to a friend who was present at the time. 9/10 times they will tell you they hardly noticed it (if at all) and that it did not come off the way you feared. True friends will always accept you as you are and, as much as your anxiety brain would have you think otherwise, do not secretly hate you or think you’re lame!

Not in the sense where you do dumb shit and disturb people and things and have absolute zero shame. But just not shaming yourself into not trying things or doing things because you fear judgement and embarrassment.
We’ve integrated being ashamed into our consciousness over the darndiest littlest things. No more shame for goofing up when learning something new or waving to someone accidentally. Take it with stride. Just laugh at yourself once in a while… it makes a good story.

It needs just this 1 added layer of chaos, like MySpace. But it would be pretty cute imo
