I start a new job tomorrow. LOTS of negativity creeping in. It doesn’t help that the kiddo asked if I was going to keep this one. I’ve been reading up on how to combat self sabotage. It has helped me. I told the kiddo to fvck off lol. This is a new position at a new bank so I’m going in with a new attitude.
I suspect a bit of negativity is a good thing. It keeps one humble and from not turning into an egomaniac. On the other hand it needs rigid control or it can turn into the monster you describe . I have brazened my way through many situations in life feeling like an imposter . Telling the monster to fornicate elsewhere is such a good idea. Not sure where we get these measuring sticks from that are there ready to tell us that we don’t quite measure up.
Sitting on my couch, after taking a sick day for my mental health, I was feeling that so very negative. Like a rough blanket that's a little bit damp but you're shivering so you put it on anyway. That kind of mucky negative feeling. Then I read your post and it's not so much that I feel better, more like I feel less alone in the negative space. So thank you, again, for phrasing things so clearly. I've got to tell my Negativity to FK off now :)

Yup. Healthy anger. The mother bear (me) protecting her cub (me) from a predator (negativity and despair-also me).
Great read... especially at this time of year. Thank you for your inspiration throughout the year.
