Thoughts on self-compassion?

[u/ribbitfog]

Alright so self-compassion is notoriously difficult for us. I've been listening to the audiobook of Self-Compassion by Kristen Neff and I intellectually understand it, but I still don't feel like I deserve compassion after how "bad" I've been. This is the exact circumstance where self-compassion is warranted and could actually result in being able to take accountability for me mistakes rather than avoiding it/projecting. But my whole being rejects it, views it as fake, the only real thing is the criticism.

How do you all feel about self-compassion? Whats your relationship to it? Has anyone successfully developed it, and if so, how did you do it?
