    I have had a boss for a while who recognizes and has embraced that with me because they’re the same way. I throw myself under the bus all the time. It makes me good at my job where being thorough and accurate is important and I take it rough when I’ve made a mistake so I make damn sure I’m not fucking up

    So now I get to train people! But then I have imposter syndrome and worry I’m fucking my trainees up and teaching them wrong. Which is clearly untrue because a lot of the people I’ve trained have excelled at their job and admittedly are better than me. Which makes me feel really good!

    I’m sorry about making your comment about me. I’m trying to convey the fact that (general) you are always your harshest critic but it’s a valid feeling. It at least gives you self awareness that so many people lack

    It helps taking a dose of realizing no one cares. This clip struck home for me and have carried the message with me for many years:
