Original Advice

DONT: Don't confuse honest feedback with personal attack.

Stop Taking Precision Personally

Truth isn’t a slap. It’s a mirror. You asked for clarity, then called it cruelty when it landed. Your pride hides under 'being nice,' but bristles at any seam that shows. Stop equating your work with your worth. Feedback exposes the craft, not the core. Stand still when it stings. Let the heat pass. Listen for the line you can use.

Feedback is a tool, not a verdict. Data, not drama. If you treat every note like an attack, you train people to lie to you and you stay small. Precision requires friction. Separate identity from iteration. Sort signal from noise. Keep the cut that sharpens. Drop the rest. Return to the work with cooler hands and a cleaner aim.
