I really don't want to pass this trait onto our future children! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190900 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 05:34:42 +0000 Andrea 190900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned to lighten up considerably over the years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190894 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 04:56:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 190894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

I beat myself up over things that happened years and years ago and I get fixated on things I've done wrong or the mistakes that I made. Can't seem to let go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190314 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:08:24 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 190314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes design wise...<br /> I think in other aspects of my life, I learned to let go...<br /> If only my husband would do the same :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190310 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:07:42 +0000 emcoco 190310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. &lt;--- Major understatement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190301 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:05:14 +0000 yoursilverlining 190301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, very. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190218 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:52:17 +0000 BSB 190218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190185 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:48:38 +0000 Rubies 190185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very hard on myself. I had terrible self-esteem all throughout my life but finally got it together at the end of university. But with anything new in my life (new job, newness of marriage, new mom, etc.) I lose confidence and zero in on the things I'm doing wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190172 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:47:10 +0000 sslm 190172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am terrible. I am so negative about myself! I think I got it from my mom and I hope I don't pass it on to my children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hard-on-yourself#post-190171 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:47:00 +0000 Alivoo01 190171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely!

I never feel like I am good enough at anything -- work, wife, mom, friend, daughter and I constantly berate myself for all my failings and shortcomings. </p> <p>I truly want to teach Charlie and Olive differently, so I hope I can change my ways... but it's tough.</p> <p>Are you your own worst critic? </p>
