I am The Person Who Suffers the Most From My Criticism

I’m very critical of myself

Since I was very young, I have always been obliged to give my best, whatever the task that is submitted in front of me. Being like this, on the one hand is very good because we are always focused on what we have to achieve, but on the other hand, being too critical of ourselves can be very harmful to our mental health.

I’ve always been very critical, I’ve always put defects in my work even when it was good, however, the intention was not to be good, but prefect.

It all started when I was little and now, as an adult, I think that I became even more critical than what I already was.

Life tends to teach us the hard way how good and perfect we have to be, relentless even… I am very strict with myself so that I can get better day by day but I also have to admit that it is very difficult.

I’m afraid to stop being like that, I don’t feel free to let myself "soften up" because I’m afraid that the whole "plan of perfection" will go down the drain.

Life can be wonderful, but also very difficult.

This is one of the battles I’ve been fighting for the last few years. Trying to please everyone and try to exceed my expectations, leaving no room for mistakes, has been difficult but I can’t give up.
