Learning to suck to suck less

· 4 min read

I feel stuck in my life, yet there’s so much energy within me, waiting for the right moment to explode. I've always wondered how it is that I put so much thought into my life and life in general and still I'm stuck.

Now, I have a hunch why I'm stuck. Because I don’t allow myself to suck. I subconsciously do everything to hide from everyone how much I suck.

As a kid, I was told I’m smart. And being called smart sucks, because now, whenever I do something and I fail, it’s proof I’m dumb. So what I did?

I started avoiding situations where I might be judged as potentially dumb. I’ve learned countless techniques to suck less or at least to feel a bit competent even before trying.

Welcome to my world.
