It has probably become a habit. Like most habits, however, there is an upside and a downside.

UPSIDE– If you’re hard on yourself, it can be a good thing if you push yourself to succeed at your chosen objectives.

DOWNSIDE– The negative consequence of being hard on yourself is low self esteem.

My dad always had a saying that I heard all through my childhood: “In the middle stands the truth!”
