Parashat Tazria is telling us how we can get (biblical) leprosy and the following Parasha, Parashat Metzora explains us how to get rid of it.
An important reason for this kind of leprosy is "Lashon Harah - slander, gossip".
Usually people understand Lashon HaRah in a way that we shouldn't talk about other people.
That's right but there is also an Issur (prohibition) that we shouldn't talk Lashon HaRah about ourselves !
Putting oneself down is destructive and doesn't lead you anywhere but into a greater depression. In the end, you may give up and just run away. Instead we should all concentrate on our positive abilities, character traits and actions. Concentrate on what you have and not what you may be lacking.
