I still occasionally say negative and dismissive stuff about myself, like "no one cares for me" or "I really don't matter" etc. At least I'm able to catch myself sometimes, and last time it happened was at a party where it was hard to hear what anyone was saying unless you really focused

I don't think that's immature, but the reality you lived through. I used to be dismissive of these thoughts now I try to see what's the real momentum behind them.
