"Be wary of measuring yourself by a different standard than you use for others. This can lead to a perfectionism trap, where you're stuck in a cycle of never feeling "good enough." is a sentiment that many of us grapple with daily. Thank you for addressing this often overlooked aspect of self-perception. Eagerly awaiting the next one!
Sorry, but I need to praise this piece of work :) well done, this was wonderful to read and I could resonate with it in the opposite way. So I was always the dumb twin and I had to find my golden girl and get her to believe she can speak, she has something to say in a sea of Golden Boys who are super intelligent. This piece is moving, thank you.

You'll love Part 2.
It'll help you handle this feeling and start PLOWING THROUGH!

Thank you for the kind words, Sassy!
Like Gonzalo said the other day, it's hard to get used to praise at first.
Many times, a certain episode in childhood triggers this kind of response, making the kid think it's incompetent.
This is not necessarily true!
I've met plenty of very competent people who sell their selves short.
My tip:
Don't!
