I’ve always thought of perfectionism as being a positive trait but in reality it’s pretty annoying. That plus my constant need for approval makes it really hard to start anything new. For example I tried polymer clay recently and despite the fact that I made a pretty cute Kirby (pic attached) I was frustrated that I wasn’t immediately really good at it and would have to actually put some effort in by watching tutorials and you know… trying. If it wasn’t for my husband doing it with me I probably would have packed it up and never finished.
I also gave up guitar as a kid because my music teacher insisted I practice. What a bitch!
Sometimes I think if it wasn’t for people telling me as a kid how “naturally gifted” I was at drawing, I probably wouldn’t draw either. But the approval seeker in me loved hearing how good I am.
NSFW alternate ending available on the Cubers tier.
