$whoami-NOT
"Self esteem is as important for our general wellbeing as legs to a table. It is essential for our physical and mental health and for our happiness." -Louise Hart.
"And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a [developer] should run faster than [they have] strength. And again, it is expedient that [they] should be diligent, that thereby [they] might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order."

DO YOU RELATE??

-
Try to work on your own avoiding any kind of collaboration except for the most superficial?
-
Do you avoid exposing yourself to feedback and constructive criticism?
-
Do you often carry on working overlooking a problem that could have been solved quicker if you just communicated?
-
Are you defensive to criticism or have a hard time receiving compliments about your work? (Which might lead to...)
-
Creating super high and maybe impossible expectations which may also lead to:
-
Self destructive perfectionism levels which may result in:
-
Overworking yourself, doing lots of overtime unnecessarily, which could also lead to a martyr complex




DO YOU...

π Avoid obsessive perfectionism
π Learn to evaluate yourself in a realistic way
π Talk to others
π Keep on learning
π Look for a mentor
π Teach. Help others!, you'd be surprised about how much you actually do know
π Accept and believe compliments for your work
π See failures as a way to learn success!
π There's no wrong on saying: I DON'T KNOW!
DO NOT GLORIFY


BS

"Real developer syndrome"
