Arnold Schwarzenegger once opened up about his habit of being a self critic and how it led him to achieve great success but with a flaw.

“When I look in the mirror&#8230;” &#8211; When 7 Times Mr Olympia Winner Arnold Schwarzenegger Opened up About His Self Criticism

Arnold Schwarzenegger might have retired from the film industry and sports, but
he is still one of the most influential people on earth. The 75-year-old still
inspires millions of people with his life stories and words and shows them the
way of living. But a con of being a celebrity is that you get haters for free
along with your fans. And though he has millions of fans, there are some critics
of the former governor of California.

But do you know who his biggest critic is? It’s none other than Schwarzenegger
himself. As per Barbend
[https://barbend.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-opens-self-esteem/], in February
2018, the veteran actor gave an interview with Cigar Aficionado, in which he
opened up about his extremely critical outlook on himself. He said, “When I look
in the mirror, I throw up,” as he opened up about his struggle with his image.

This seems almost impossible to believe that a highly respected man who has
accomplished so much in life will be so critical of himself. It is also very
difficult to believe because there is usually the notion that stars are very
self-obsessed. This can be concluded from the fact that they spend so much time
on themselves that they automatically develop the tendency to be narcissistic.
However, that is not the case for the seven times Mr. Olympia winner.

Iconic Film?

Although, self-criticism is not a recent habit that the Terminator actor seemed
to have developed.


WHAT ELSE DOES ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER THINK ABOUT HIMSELF?

The Predator actor mentioned that self-criticism is something that he developed
when he was way too young. He has always been this way even when he was in the
best shape of his life. Schwarzenegger told the magazine that when he
simultaneously won Mr. Olympia’s title, he used to look in the mirror and say,
“How did this pile of s— win?”

He also said that he never completely believed in the concept of perfection. The
End of the Days star

always thought that there was something lacking and that is what pushed him to
become the best. Although sometimes it can cause a lack of confidence which
Schwarzenegger thinks happened with him.
