RE: Experiment 1: How I cured myself of perfectionism.

in #songs7 years ago (edited)

What a great experiment! YES! I love it.
I do struggle with perfectionism, I can not overcome it, I simply just don't do anything. Just makes me paralized. Even though there's no real "stake" (I wanted to write steak, hahah) it's still extremely difficult to show writings to friends or strangers. This site might be a big experiment for me as well. Just it's a difficult place to be a beginner. To s.ck at something. But that's the only way to be better. And also - noone can do it perfectly the first time, it's an absurd thought and wish. (no real vote power here, maybe -@originalworks)

Thanks for the tip. Well the key learning for me was, and I guess it's not a huge insight, just do it! I realised that no one was going to care as much about it as I did, but maybe someone would at least get a smile out of listening :-)
