🧗‍♀️🫣 I used to hate being seen trying to do something that I wasn’t very good at. Being seen as incompetent, ”bad” or like a beginner at stuff around people who are very good at it scared me so much, because growing up I was always in environments where I excelled at sports that were deemed ”hard” or ”difficult to learn”. Everyone would praise me for being ”naturally gifted” even when I wasn’t looking for compliments. Then I stopped doing sports and I stepped out in the real world where there’s a lot of people like me, and realizing actually it’s nearly impossible to be a ”natural” at every sport, and it’s okay to ”look bad”. It’s not embarrassing nor humiliating. • • #selfgrowth #selfconfidence #giftedkidsyndrome #perfectionist #fearofbeingseen
