> If your manager gives you harsh feedback, that’s 50% of your sense of self taking a hit.
The answer to this is not diversification... the answer is to work on yourself so your “sense of self” does not get affected by what anyone says.

But it should be affected. As the substance abuse programs say "the first step to solve any problem is to acknowledge that there is a problem". For example, if you think of yourself as a good husband and a good father and then your wife and kids come to you and tell you that you are not, you should probably reassess your self-evaluation. Maybe you are not what you think you are.
