I am. 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.
I truly want to teach Charlie and Olive differently, so I hope I can change my ways... but it's tough.
Are you your own worst critic?

I'm not hard on myself.. sometimes I think I should be! 
I usually focus on the positives.

Most definitely! That's why I occasionally have panic/anxiety attacks.

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.

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.

Yes design wise...
I think in other aspects of my life, I learned to let go...
If only my husband would do the same :\

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.

Day to day, not really.
Professionally, I am pretty brutal on myself.

Yes. In almost every aspect of my life. I don't expect perfection from others, but I always demand it of myself.
@Alivoo01 @Rubies @JessLC: Exactly.

I learned to lighten up considerably over the years.

I'm very hard on myself, but I've really been trying to stop taking myself so seriously and have been working on treating myself better. I really don't want to pass this trait onto our future children!
