Performance Review
Formal evaluations, annual reviews, or any structured assessment of your work.
30-Second Summary
Reviews are feedback, not verdicts. Even mostly-positive reviews will include areas for growth - that's literally their job. One review doesn't define your career.
Key Insight
Your brain will focus on the one piece of constructive feedback and ignore everything positive. This is RSD, not reality. Good reviews include growth areas - that's normal.
One Thing To Do
Write down every positive thing mentioned. Literally make a list. Force yourself to give equal weight to the good, not just the growth areas.
