Marching Orders

[witchdollie]

I am my own worst critic.This is true in most areas of my life. From my photography (which I rarely show) to my writing, I pick apart nearly every single thing I do. I replay past conversations all the time, trying to figure out if I could have done better. This is especially true when I lose a good friend. Though at that point, I spend days

I have trouble letting myself be less then artistically brilliant. It's why I almost never show my fiction writing to people - I keep thinking that if I can go over it one more time, I can make it good enough.

I think a lot of people are this way. I know I can be from time to time myself. I find it's usually easier to accept other people's criticisms if I've already found those areas where I've failed.

I am the same way - I am my worst critic (and I am a constant replay-er of everything I did wrong - what could I have done better? What did I do to make this person go away?).

I know where this entry is coming from. Good luck being a little easier on yourself while still doing everything you want to do--it's a tough balance, and I know I'm not there yet.

Apart from the photography, we have a lot in common. It was only after I developed a chronic disease that i had to stop yelling at myself all the time. I related to this entry very well.
