You also need to stop blaming your own personal shortcomings for mistakes or failures. Talk to others about how you feel. Overcome your perfectionist tendencies by setting realistic goals for yourself and accept that mistakes and failures are a part of life.Finally, take ownership of your successes. Learn how to take a compliment and draw strength from it
