My biggest thing lately has been something like "If I write/create something, nobody is going to read/look at/enjoy it." Guess what? It's just not true.
What you have put out here is far more intense than just "I can't do it," or a simple crisis of self-confidence. You have put your finger on the concept that we keep telling ourselves falsehoods, which if self-reinforced, will lead to all sorts of compounded self-doubt. What a great job here, Mónica! - Seth ✦
