I would never talk to another person the way I talk to myself. No one deserves that.
So! A thing that helped me was to depersonalize my self-hate so it's like I'm viciously ripping into a different person. That makes me feel gross, like a bully or something, and I now do it much less. Gotta have empathy for the stranger that is yourself.
You'd never say "I'm going to fucking kill you. You deserve to die. You are the lowest human scum of this earth." to anyone. So why do it to your self ?

I think I've mostly partitioned off my brain into "me" and "my brain, who horks up random thoughts"
So when this raving weirdo chimes in I get to be like "hell yeah that would be cool thanks" or "nah fuck off asshole"
That's a great strategy, thanks for sharing.
