Hi, I'm new here.

I've recently realized that I'm way harder on myself than I should be...and I've been hard on myself for doing this...if that makes any sense. Like, now that I'm aware of what I'm doing, I'm kind of feeling stupid for doing it.

I kind of feel like nothing I do is good enough- I'll make food that will be perfectly fine, and if I'm serving it to friends, I'll be all apologetic that it's too spicy or overdone or not cheesy enough, when in reality, there will be nothing wrong with it. Or I'll write a paper, hand it to someone to proofread, and apologize that it's not good enough. It's things like that all the time, and once I realized it, I've kind of been even more down on myself because I'm aware that I'm doing it.

Has anyone else experienced this? How have you handled it?
