Absolutely, what you decide to act on is what defines you. It's not uncommon to internalize the logic that was used to attack you or that stands against what you are. I think it's a kind of defense mechanism, and once you are self aware enough to notice it you no longer need it. Then you can work to let it go by not engaging and consciously breaking the pattern of those thoughts.
