Over the years, I’ve always avoided looking dumb and stupid. I have never failed, not because I am intelligent, talented, or a genius, but because I have never tried.
I feel so seen. I think it’s the fear of being judged and seen the way WE see ourselves : not good enough, not smart enough. It’s simply not wanting other people to see who we truly are.
It takes time to build our confidence, and challenge our perception of ourselves. I, personally, am very much aware but stopping the constant performance requires so much confidence, one I don’t have. Thanks for sharing. It’s very refreshing to see other people are dealing with the same things.
