My advice is to ask for feedback often, and in such a way that it invites correction. Begin by asking for comments after you’ve done something well. Then show sincere appreciation for what you hear. This allows friends and co-workers to build up your "emotional bank account," making it easier for them to make "withdrawals" when you ask for feedback following a below-average performance.
But as I mentioned, be careful when you start out asking for comments about good performance, or you risk appearing insincere. One way around this is to use a ten-point rating scale. After you ask, "How did I do?" follow up with -"Please, give my performance a rating from one to ten, with one being completely inadequate and ten being perfect." This opens the door for specific feedback. People might give you an "8" or "9," even "9.5," but probably not a perfect "10." So now you ask, "What can I do to come closer to a 10?"
