A moment (chance?) for vulnerability: Who struggles/ed with self-doubt, comparison? How do you or have you overcome it?
cc: @dwr @cameron would love some visibility on this topic if you think it's deserving.
I’m a roiling ball of self doubt 🫡 Why do you think I cast so much? But I’m working to separate my productivity from myself - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
I doubt almost everything I do. It's the hardest thing for me to overcome, because that doubt impacts tenacity and perseverance. Without those, I know I will struggle to succeed, so I have to fight that self-doubt every day.
Me all the time. I just do the thing with a lot of self doubt anyways. My duty is to myself 🫡
The artist blessing and curse. Self assurance/ Crippling self doubt. I used to do drugs, now I just try not to worry, and let good vibes out when I have them.
I have not overcome it, but I think a useful way to think about things is the “number of hands” you get to play Even a skilled poker player can hit a bad run of being unlucky. This can trigger self doubt, and for a beginner, could be psychologically crushing But the more hands you play, the closer you get to real
Never met someone who doesn't (incl. F500 CEOs, deca-billionaires, etc.) Embrace it as reality and learn to manage through it.
