SEEKING INSIGHTS
Where’s the Line Between Owning My Crap and Being Too Hard on Myself?
Asking for your insights to help me to find a balance
Hello to my fellow writers, readers, and friends!
I’m trying something new with this post. I have no idea if it’ll generate the buzz of a good conversation and helpful advice or if I’ll hear crickets. But I won’t know until I try, right?
One of the things I love most about Medium is its community. It’s a colorful mix of so many different people, views, and perspectives. There are so many unique voices and experiences to discover. From triumphs to lessons learned, happiness to heartache everyone has a story to tell.
And here on Medium, we’re sharing our stories out loud.
So what I’m seeking today is for my fellow readers and writers of this vibrant community to share your knowledge and insights on something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. Maybe someone else has the same struggle and could use some insights too.
Throughout my life, I've been told that I’m too hard on myself. I’ve heard it from parents, friends, and other writers here on Medium. I heard it yesterday from a coworker. I’ve heard it enough to know it must be true.
