I was like, oh,

Christ, that fucking, you know, you're sort of like the blow of it.

And then I did it again on camera and I was one step removed and I was like, okay, I actually can see the funny side of some of these.

And I think there was, it was like exposure therapy.

Like by the end of it, I was like, okay.

It doesn't matter.

It's just someone's passing thought, but they happen to write it down.

I don't need to believe that as fact.

And I think that's the issue.

When I've had it in the past, I found getting critical feedback tricky or even someone confronting me or saying something offensive.

you know, that just feels full on or like a bit of a personal moment.

I found that very difficult because I've instantly turned on myself like, yeah, they're right and I'm wrong.

They're right and I've got this all wrong and I'm a big mess or whatever it might be or I'm shit, I'm going to give up.

I've taken it way, way too seriously and way too far.

What would your advice be for sort of being able to receive any kind of feedback or critique at work or within friendship circles or

I am.

No, because these habits and I guess those moments where we know we're falling into the same habitual cycle again and again, it's so deeply ingrained.

If most of it's set in childhood, which sort of scares the shit out of me, because as a parent, you're a parent,

I sometimes worry about my every move.

Like, oh my God, that's going to have totally messed them up for adult life.
