We have a bigger responsibility outside of ourselves to not speak badly about ourselves in public. The more we judge ourselves in front of others the worse people around us feel about themselves. Mirroring neurons really do extend in all sorts of areas. When someone not much older calls themselves old, we feel older. When someone our weight or leaner calls themselves fat, we feel fatter. When we are surrounded by others who feel amazing in their skin, we also feel more amazing in our skin.
