getting over perfectionism
Post Body

i feel like my old job wounded me in many ways, including being so so so afraid of making mistakes and sounding stupid.

reading feedback from my clients felt like i was getting attacked due to how they gave it to me and the amount of edits they make. because of that, i found it hard to actually be productive and work efficiently to fix it.

other than that, sometimes when i talked, my old boss would say "i dont get it" or "you're not making sense", which really hurt my confidence as well.

now at my new job, i of course still get feedback about what i write and it felt so disheartening to see the amount my new boss changed. when i apologised, he did say that it's normal and i should not feel disheartened. he even told me about a similar thing he experienced in his career and how he learned from it.

i am trying to not feel sad or panicking about fucking up at my new job but i can't (haven't been able to) get over my negative experience at the company i worked for before this one.

has anyone felt the same? any useful tips?
