Dear Pam Thanks for your interest in the topic and for sharing your personal reflections. In response to your question, there are some positive aspects to having this trait for instance when it motivates you to work hard in life toward a goal. However, when you are unable to forgive yourself when you are less than perfect (and we are all imperfect beings) and end up being very hard on yourself, then it is detrimental. We all need to try to be less self-critical and more self-accepting. Best Regards Barbara and Evelyn
