Oddly, it's the common and expected receipt of negative feedback!<br /><br />I usually get one (usually small) honest piece of feedback about something I could have done better every week. This makes any positive feedback much more real: If I have impostor syndrome, in manifests as thinking that anyone praising me is just being polite or kind. If I know that someone isn't afraid to criticize, their praise reaches far deeper.Nonnormalizablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02638982158642591827noreply@blogger.com
