A therapist would say you need to learn first to love yourself and talk to yourself the way you would to a dear friend or that a loving parent would talk to you. Not listen to these negative voices saying there's something wrong with you, but give yourself compassion and find some peace. If you can do that, you can learn to be more compassionate and peaceful with others. Have you ever worked with a DBT or CBT therapist? They really focus on teaching you these skills.
