I understand where Jeri is coming from, but I am intimately familiar with that introspective criticism (the good kind) of the self, I can hardly tell you to go easier on yourself.
I can tell you that although you don't see your progress, you are making a huge leap forward *just by noticing and acknowledging it.* Blindness to one's own faults/strengths/traits/habits/etc. is like inertia. Once you power through it, your way is easier. Sometimes only a little easier, but you are making a difference. :)
I am highly critical of the world as I demand of my self to analyze and understand. It's just in my nature, but if I get carried away, I'm critical of people being judgemental. Yikes! That is me being judgemental!
I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

Been there, done that, came out the other side a bit better. :)
I'm right there with you. Probably about 10 minutes ago.
It has made me a bit more tolerant of others at times, and that's not such a bad thing.
Dear one - you're awfully hard on yourself. We're all human and by definition, inconsistent & imperfect.
And... yes. :/
LOL
