Interesting topic. For me, I always knew that something was wrong with my thinking. I grew up as a codependent with low self esteem. I had a distorted believe system that viewed only negative things . My brain always told me that I am not worth it. The time when I relaized that my best thinking was wrong saved me. I stopped listening to my brain and started listening to others. I started doing others ways. If you have a defective navigation system then you will never be able to drive safely. I had to rely on others. I had to slowly change the defected parts and rebuild a better navigation system. Life started to sound good.
