Anyone else unable to let it go when they make a mistake?

Any time I make a mistake, I REALLY let it get to me. I am unable to let it go, and it wrecks my confidence and self esteem. I automatically think I'm unintelligent, incapable, and a failure. It may seem like a dramatic reaction, but this is the direction my brain goes. It can be just about ANY mistake, too. Big or small. This is why my confidence stays in the gutter. *Sigh*

Yeah that's on trauma, I'm sorry you had horrible adults around you to say those things to you or themselves 😕

@greensnacks The thing is, I grew up in a great family. I had a horrible time in school, though, with both students and a handful of teachers. Also unfortunately had to go to therapy from bullying and honestly, the "therapy" made things worse for me. I've done much better in my adulthood, but still slip on things like this.
