I find that I am my biggest critic. I am always trying to give 100% and learn more about myself, both as a person and as an educator, but whenever I falter, I am super hard on myself. Twenty people could say amazing things about me as an educator, but when I get a negative comment (or vibe) from someone about me, THAT is what I seem to focus on. Do any of you do this??
Apparently, it is a very common human reaction; that we get upset about the bad (or imperfect), as opposed to celebrating the good, the great, and the wonderful.
I get very frustrated with myself when I do this. It also reminds me that I still have room to grow. That is a good thing, as I learn more and get closer to who I want to be.
What I KNOW I am, is honest, real, and a nutcase. What you see is definitely what you get with me and people either love that or not. Confidence in myself has taken years to gain. I am a work in progress!!
