    Counterpoint: I’ll simply give up if I can’t do it perfect right away. That’ll surely fill the gaping hole in my soul.

      “you have to be ok with being really bad before you can become really good.”

      “…or I can just never try!”

      I’m starting to think 40 years of this mindset did some permanent damage to me and my future lol

        If at first you don’t succeed, hide the evidence and deny everything

    I blame Yoda for their “do or do not; there is no try” maxim.

    I understand that being comfortable in one’s own skin means being comfortable with being average, but… Can’t I also be amazing and the best and like, so cool? Why can’t I be well adjusted and also perfection incarnate?

      the solution is viewing yourself as the ultimate being that does everything perfect first try, and if ot6ger people say otherwise, then they simply don’t understand your perfection.

      a god complex is what i am saying

    A lot of NPD moments in these comments. Glad that social media is finally accepting discussion about narcissistic thoughts.

    Your framing still centers others as well as negativity. You should aim to please yourself with your efforts, and accept them as enough.
