Oh and to risk embarrassing myself for human connection is no true risk at all, because nobody whose opinion really matters would ever think less of another person for choosing the vulnerability of putting themself out there.
@SimonSimplicio I liked how you explained that negativity around self criticism makes us feel unworthy/upset/etc for doing it then we “feel bad for feeling bad” and it’s just a cycle. Great piece!
Hate when shit doesn’t go my way and ppl comfort me by saying “at least it was a learning experience” like I am already really smart I don’t need more learning I NEED W’S!!!!!
You do not fear failure. You fear the death of the fantasy that you were special without proof. As long as you never fully try, you can keep believing greatness was available. The untouched dream is the coward’s favorite hiding place.
