We tend to beat ourselves up when we aren't good at something, Especially on the first try. When we should be a little more understanding that we may not be very good.
We All Suck!
Even those people with seemingly unlimited talents suck at things. Maybe they just practiced. Or they are good at something similar to whatever it is they tried. Some skills can transfer over to other hobbies. Like I picked up painting fast because I already spent years drawing.
Don't Discourage Yourself!
It already seems like not a lot of people try new things on a regular basis. So Why is it, That we beat ourselves up so bad for trying something new when it really can get us somewhere. How are we supposed to learn if we don't try new things! And you can't try something new without embarrassing yourself or being lousy at it, At times.
People Will Forget
There are so many embarrassing things I did back when I wen to school.
I thought for sure; I'd have to move far away to get away from everything.
And sure, The internet makes it easier to remember certain events. It also makes it more difficult because we are constantly overwhelmed with information every day.
Those silly mistakes you make will most likely be forgotten. I see a lot of people I went to school without in public, and they don't even remember who I am. It's funny.
Plus sometimes when people do remember, They may still have some respect for you, Because you tried something new, And you got out of your comfort zone!
Not a lot of people do that these days, so it's commendable.
Even if it's embarrassing!
