Self-Perception

Things have been weird lately.

A ton of people have been praising me constantly. But also a ton of people have been criticizing me without relent. (For the most part, they are well-meaning on both sides.)

If these individuals are to be believed, then I am either a person with almost no flaws or a person with almost no redeeming qualities.

I think that I am somewhere in the middle--but I believe that I have more good qualities than faults.

Believing the opposite has never gotten me anywhere.
