I have found this to be true of myself, but I think that due to my intelligence and my/our ability to stand aside from ourselves and objectively judge ourselves in order to understand what we do, why we do it, whether this is good or bad and whether or not it can be improved, this helps us try and eliminate the things that make us feel bad.
