Nuance my friend, nuance. It's unhealthy to beat yourself up for every little mistake, but it's also unhealthy to gloss over them all with a big thick coat of 'I'm amazing on the whole so it really doesn't matter what gets fucked up in the process.'does anyone like themselves 100% of the time?

I'd say it's also unhealthy. A workable and useful truth lies somewhere between constant self-flagellation and ego indulgence. Personally, I'm working on judging myself by the same standard I judge others. Did you hurt anybody? Did you make someones day a little brighter? Are you working towards things you are passionate about?
