You should align yourself with people who will, lovingly, tell you the truth about yourself. You really should. You should also ask for feedback after presentations and failed job interviews. And you should take the fish oil that contains no heavy metals. The one you have to drink from a spoon.
It irks me that some of my most important growth and health comes from things that are distasteful. Like asking for feedback. Which I've been encouraged to do, again, and I know I need to and it's a really good idea and, yes, I will, but I'm grumpy and anxious about it and wish the fish oil and the feedback could just taste like strawberries for goodness sake.
