‘Should’ and ‘ought to’ make us feel bad.
They are self-imposed rules we make for ourselves and others.
Shoulds for ourselves-
I should be more confident…
I should exercise more…
I shouldn’t have anxiety…
I shouldn’t make mistakes…
These shoulds make us feel guilty and frustrated.
Shoulds for others-
She should treat me better…
He should be grateful for what I’ve done for him..
These shoulds lead to anger and frustration.
