I think there’s an even bigger wisdom in here. We tend to overburden ourselves with these negative thoughts all the time. What other people might think, and other forms of self sabotage. In a sense it’s a good sign. It’s good to care and put ourselves into the shoes of others. It’s also good to be self-critical, it’s a powerful tool that prevents us from stupidity and harm. Being critical also helps us to develop taste and make things of higher quality. But it can easily be too pessimistic, too hindering and too lazy. It’s so easy to say „It‘s going to suck anyway, let’s not do anything.“ But that’s not being self critical, it’s being lazy and self harming. To build confidence, one has to actually do something and keep at it. Let self-criticism be a tool used iteratively and not a burden that prevents us from going forward. It’s the priorities and goals, our inner value system that helps us choose whether we do something or not.
