Summary of Aziz Gazipura's On My Own Side

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I was 14 years old when a friend said something that poisoned my mind for 10 years. I was insecure about my appearance, and the thought that someone might not find me attractive because of my bags under my eyes made me hate myself.

#2 I had a critical voice that constantly attacked me and my flaws. It was a constant war between me and my inner critic. I didn’t share my insecurities with others because I imagined they would find me unworthy.

#3 Everyone has an inner critic, even those who don’t appear to have a reason to because they are beautiful, smart, and successful. It is a constant presence looming above your head, terrorizing you with brutal jets of fire.

#4 We spend so much time worrying about how we come across to others, but we rarely worry about how we come across to ourselves. We neglect the relationship with ourselves, which we completely ignore or put low on the priority list.
