I suck at karaoke, but it is so much fun. Even more because I am so bad at singing. My friends usually cannot stop laughing when my voice starts to break. It would be enjoyable too with a good voice I guess, but I do not wanna miss the times we had fun singing with my poor voice
I'm envious of people who are good at being bad. It's a skill that lets you choose how to develop yourself. I've noticed that it's really difficult for me to be bad at something, by which I mean that of my brain hasn't decided that it really needs to keep doing something, I gravitate towards things that I'm already decent at even if I don't really feel like I enjoy it. Doing even things that I might initially enjoy q…
it has helped me a lot. Plenty of times I don't want to do it, but it's hard to put off for long. You can screw up a lot, and the results are still edible.
Every damn meal I make has problems. Usually it's pretty good, but there are things I can do better with the output and the process. No matter the outcome, I feel better after eating. I'd suggest keeping a small stock of premade stuff on hand. a stack of crackers and some soup. Sometimes I just can't get it together.
Actually doing stuff i am good at stresses me out sometimes! Maybe imposter syndrome or my fear of it actually being Dunning-Krueger :)
Being very bad at something means that you will work through it without ego. You haven't yet attached your self worth to the thing, so you don't care how you are perceived at doing the thing. I struggled so much studying computer science in college just because I was afraid of looking like I didn't know something, instead of realizing that I was supposed to not know these things because I never encountered them befor…

You might find that actually, in some things, you don't mind "just playing". But those things are, probably, unlike anything else many others call "play".
I suspect that you do play for its own sake, its just in areas you havent considered in that light.
I thought this was a weird conclusion. I think of my self as pretty open to experience (maybe there's a unintuitive definition for this I'm unaware of?) But that is a conclusion I don't really relate to. I guess I'm open to new things but quite so "go with the flow". Seems contradictory out loud but I can't be the only person who feels that way.
Also, I feel like this article seems to suggest mastery is achievable if you just work hard enough. My life experience with my own attempts to master things suggests otherwise. I don't know if everyone has it in them to actual master something.

There is a treatment called exposure therapy [0] which actually is used to threat anxiety and for one helps with emotional processing.
