I must disagree to some extent. In terms of the showing of images, yes we can be our worst critics. But that is more along the lines of getting rid of everything since we find fault in just about everything of ours (generally speaking).
When it comes to family/friends photos though, nothing should ever be thrown out. I have come across images shot when I was a kid that though technically poor still are the only images I have of certain people. That alone is reason enough to keep them. But I do not see why the bad must be discarded. I have read often enough here of people going back to shots and seeing something that makes it worth keeping that was not noted upon first review...

I seldom make photographs of close friends/family etc.,since I cannot emotionally divorce myself, the shots all look terrible after the fact. A good photographer learns to discard the bad and keep the good. That's the most difficult thing to do. But it must be done.
