Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I hold myself to a standard of basically never making mistakes, so every ordinary slip-up feels like a defect in me
- Some people on my team never really seem to feel part of it
- There are parts of me
- My head runs on a constant track of "I must get this right" and "I should never mess up," and the moment I fall short of one of those the self-attack is instant and brutal
- I flub one thing — a bad meeting, a clumsy text — and within seconds I’ve gone from "that went badly" to "I’m a failure," like the single slip becomes a verdict on the entire person I am.
