Day 6 - The Fear of Judgement — When Criticism Feels Personal
This is a live transmission from the Mental Dojo — raw, unfiltered thought sparring. No edits. No conclusions. Just real-time thinking.
I thought I was afraid of criticism, but I think the real fear is judgement — the feeling that someone else’s words have the power to define me.
I remember once handing in a writing assignment, proud of what I’d done. The teacher told me it was terrible and illegible and that I should rewrite the whole thing. I remember the feeling — my expectations destroyed.
Now I wonder — maybe judgement isn’t the threat I’ve believed it to be.
💬 “You may be right — I will have to think about that.”
That sentence feels powerful — like a way to let criticism pass through me instead of becoming part of me.
