 A thought creeps in repeatedly, whether you like it or not, would start exercising great influence on you. Your feelings are determined by the nature of such thoughts irrespective of you entertain within your mind or they coming to you without your permission. No doubt, you do not want to develop a negative feeling and put yourself down. However, there are times when you cant help yourself to feel better.
