When and How did you realize you were being too hard upon yourself and how did you cope with it?

It took time. A slow process of identifying (and accepting) all the actual issues in certain situations and not blaming myself or beating myself up for other people’s bullshit.
When I realized that perfection is not achievable and even if it was it would unlikely be sustainable over the course of the long-term and that I’m never going to be perfect and that while I can work to be a better person I should cut myself some slack.
When I realized I was being unrealistic with my ideologies.
Still learning to cope. I realized it years ago but it takes constant, near daily reminding to move pass it. Not every day is a success but I always try.
Seeing a counselor.
Never.
People often tell me I am too hard on myself. I don’t believe them.
