Feedback Thoughts

I am someone that is pretty good at receiving feedback, even negative.  I have played sports my entire life and was given "constructive criticism" every single day.  But, I would be lying if I said it NEVER got to me.  I enjoyed the article, "5 Tips for Taking Feedback like a Champ." I especially liked the point about "reminding yourself of growth areas."  It reminds people that there is so much more to learn.  It also sets the reminder that nobody is perfect and mistakes are okay.  We can learn from them.  I also enjoyed the article, "14 Signs Your Perfectionism has Gotten Out of Control." I know that I am a perfectionist in certain aspects.  I always want to do a good job.  Some of the points like "you take everything personally" and "you're a big procrastinator" really hit home for me! While receiving feedback can be hard, I personally have a harder time giving it to people.  I am always worried about hurting peoples' feelings or making them feel like their work is not good enough.  So, that is something I will struggle with.
