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*

Mistake is different from error. Mistake means we have misunderstood something while taking or took something thinking that it's something else.

To err is human, because we need to develop the skill..

So.. just try again for you are the participant and judge to everything. So don't let the judge undermine your skill, because without you he has none to judge.

It's best you send him away on a holiday and then start developing your skills. Never have him around when you are practicing for he is a nasty critic who takes pride for his judgements but will not let you develop since he has no skill for himself.
