How do you stop yourself from being personally disappointed by negative feedback on deliverables? As a junior resource, I just want to contribute as much quality work as I can and I spend a lot of time trying to do so. But when we discuss feedback, I’m told not to take it personally, but it’s literally about my personal output. I don’t understand.

I just had this conversation with one of my associates. Understand that it’s not about who you are as a person OP, it’s because you haven’t been exposed to everything. When we all start out we make a lot of mistakes and that’s the only way to teach someone the craft. We still make mistakes too. Just understand it’s part of the learning curve and it does get better (from a mistake standpoint, the work stays fairly consistent but just higher level).

Your work is not you. Remember your self worth as an individual is not determined by your work. It takes practice to build a cognitive separation of you and your work. You’ve made the right first steps by recognizing the challenge. It’s not going to be a fast or easy process, just keep trying and learning. You can start by learning how to critique your own work for flaws. After you’ve delivered something, take a day or so break and then go back and do a retrospective to understand it’s inevitable weak points, *but don’t spend time fixing the product*. If you can start to do that, you’ll build up an objective eye toward your work product, which will make it easier to take outside critiques on your work without internalizing them as critiques about you.
