Is it easier to accept others than it is to accept yourself?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) December 16th, 2011

I guess this is partly about your own personal experience, but also about your perception of the rest of the world. Do you judge yourself more harshly than you judge others? Do you think others judge you more harshly than they do themselves? Can both these perceptions be seen as being true at the same time?

If so, what does this say about the nature of self-judgment vs perception of how others judge us and/or others? Do we see ourselves as more harsh or more understanding than others?

Examples are always helpful.
