I've seen myself on TV numerous times and I'm always hyper-critical of myself. Same when I record myself singing--but then the reason I record myself is to figure out what needs improving. Occasionally I'll think, that bit was nice, why can't I do the whole song that way.

I'm sure if I met myself, I would find some of my little ways quite annoying. On the other hand, if I didn't know it was me, I'd probably be more forgiving. :razz
