Feeling as though you need to be loved by everyone is a self-defeating belief because there will always be some individuals who do not care for you.It would be unrealistic and hence self-defeating to have or express the need to be loved by everyone.There are many ways to exercise our mental potential.One of the first ways is to concentrate on removing negative thoughts or self-defeating beliefs from our minds.Affirmations or positive statements,such as being a caring person,will get through nursing school,getting better with skills or recovering from an illness,and so on are ways to avoid self-defeating comments and behaviors.
