I was just answering back to people who wrote in one of my other discussions and this came to my mind. I am person who really knows when I commit a mistake and I tend to be the worst critic of myself. I actually say that to people, you really do not need to tell me I made a mistake, I know it! Who is the worst critic in your life regarding you? Do you tend to criticize yourself for your mistakes?

not all people are lovely people like us.. i have come across many people who are able to criticise others but not themselves ... they believe they are perfect being.. if they are my close friends normally i will tell them "next birthday i buy a mirror for you so that you can see how you look "

The worst critic would tend to be me. Its for the reason, that not everybody else would necessarily know all the mistakes that I have done or all the details for that matter. I would analyse those mistakes to the point where I feel I went wrong and be critical to the extent that I do not do it again.

In my case, it would be my patients that come to see me. They are my ultimate teacher, my source of inspiration and the very reason I have picked this profession to be a practicing doctor soon. I have dedicated my life to such service and if I cannot give the treatment and care that my patients demand me for, then I am definitely not living up to their standards, and whether I like it or not, they are the only one whose criticism at the end really matters.

I would actually say that I would be my own worst critic. That might be a true for a lot of people. I just seem to think that I could be better. I am not always happy with the way that I look.
I usually find something to pick apart about myself and run with it. My husband in particularly doesn't like when I say bad things about myself. I suppose he is right. It has just become a force of habit.
