Yes, I believe I am. I am probably most self-critical about my job performance. I enjoy my job. I am damn good at my job. I am proud of my work ethic, instilled in me by my father. I try hard, I push myself, to continue learning, making me better at a job that I enjoy. It doesn’t sound so bad.
But, if we aren’t our own worst enemy. Would we ever care to do better? Could anyone force us to always push ourselves? To always want to do better at something. Successful people don’t become that way by accident. Hard work, determination, perseverance and maybe a little luck. Nobody could consistently give us that much will and want, than we give ourselves.
That’s a great point! I do always wonder though about people like my sister, who is brilliantly intelligent, and successful but she doesn’t have to try. Where do those people find motivation?
The quality of my work.
I’m critical of my skills at my job as well.
Thanks for the MHO
Of course, I feel like everyone is, just afraid to admit it. My physical appearance has always been my thing, I’d literally tear myself down. Never really learned or knew to love myself. Still kind of don’t.
I hope you find some healing!!
Yes I am. Currently in Therapy and working on it
That’s great! Therapy has helped me a lot too.

Letting peoples criticisms get to me, I tend to get quite a lot of criticism and it's hard to just let that roll off my back sometimes... Kinda like correcting Grammer, backseat driving, and doing things the way they believe they are supposed to be done stuff like that
I’m a teacher and I make grammar mistakes from time to time! I stopped correcting people though for the most part.
I’m terrible for this. I hate everything about myself, even if I can appreciate it on someone else. It’s difficult going through that every day.
I understand that. I give allowances to people that I wouldn’t give to myself. My mom always said that it was a bit arrogant that I hold myself to a higher standard than I do others. I think it has a lot to do with striving for perfection. I eventually had to let go of some of that.
Hope you can find some valuable things within yourself.
I guess I study too much. If I try to take a break from studying I feel selfish. Or I am hard on myself for how my body looks. I am fit so I try hard to make sure I don't lose weight (I was underweight my whole life and I have a very fast metabolism so I can lose a lot of weight easily but gain weight slowly) Now, I feel really good about my body. I worked hard for it and I am normal weight but you know exercising is good for you so I regularly exercise when I can.
My belly seems too big. lol. That's my only concern lately.
That’s a good only concern to have!
Very true!!
My confidence and lifestyle. I just wish it was better and I often criticize myself for it. Even though much of it is outside my control.
Absolutely. Everyone has admitted that about me. I'm very strict with myself on every aspect. The choices I make, my appearance, my feelings, my self control. Every single thing. I'm always like you should have said that, you should have done that why can't you be like her/him. I'm my own enemy for sure.
Yeah, I'm way too critical of myself.
What I'm most crucial about is probably how I do in uni. I'm doing relatively well at this point, but I get frustrated with myself if I don't get better grades.
There is a quote that i don't know who said it. "What you believe to be possible defines what you're capable of understanding"
I'm cursed to be dispassionate about the world around me and pass up many of the opportunities presented to me.
I can be but mostly I am a very helpful kind of person who tells it how it is.
I probably am. I'm self-critical over every little thing, whether it's appearance, how I react in situations, how good I am at certain hobbies, school, etc, I always find something in everything to criticize myself over.
i don't hold myself back i ain't scared of shit because idfc if i fucking die or anything.
You could be your enemy, unless you'd start accepting and cooperating with yourself, and not rejecting your self and calling your other sides demons like an idiot
No one is harder on me than myself. I am most critical of my looks. My nose does not help any.
@valualty Told ya so. :)
Accepting help. I really struggle to do it. I’m currently 2 days post-op and can barely move yet I hate the thoughts of when asking someone to make me a cup of tea x
Independence can sometimes be a curse! x
What aren't I self critical about? If I do anything at all you can count on pounding yelling in my head about how I'm the worst creature in existence
I am.. I never see what I do ,,, ANYTHING... as good enough
Realizing I can only control certain things. Trying to control things I have no control over.
I struggle to see many things positive in myself at all and have more insecurities then things I like
Oh most definitely. I'm critical of almost everything.
No, my ex from hell is my worth enemy.
Man, I see your comments a lot and I hate your ex too.
That’s normal, according to the responses on this question!
Sadly everything... It's so self destructive. I constantly struggle with this.
I am way way way too sensitive
From a certain point of view.
Yes I am most of the time.
