So I've read some of these before but I think my favorite is How to Take Feedback Like a Champ. Its really hard to not get defensive to criticism, especially when it comes to something that you have worked longed and hard for. I think this article is perfect for anyone who feels like they are too sensitive when it comes to feedback. The tip about being uncomfortable is part of the growth process can really put things into perspective.
I am a psych major, the other article I read was obviously The Psychology of Comparison and How to Stop. I personally have had some dealing with this especially, in comparing myself to others and having other's compare themselves to me. I have a friend who compares her gym progress to mine and gets upset with herself that I lift heavier weights than she does. We had a talk that each person has their own journey and that the only person to compare yourself to is yourself, to just be better than you were yesterday. Even if you fail, to realize you are human, not perfect, and just move on. I feel like this article really explains some of that.
