A skill I really need to learn is being just decent at something. I absolutely hate not being good at things, and this has held me back in so many ways. When you grow up being told that you're smart constantly over and over, it does something to your mind. It makes you feel like you have to either be perfect at something or not do it at all. This is actually why I never bother with music. I'm decent enough at it, but then I see super talented musicians and my brain just goes "welp, you'll never be on their level so why are you even bothering?" I wish it were easier to train your brain to just be like "no, it's okay to only be decent at something. It doesn't make you a failure." Because simply knowing it doesn't make it any easier.
