I have always had a bad habit of giving up on something if I wasn't instantly good at it. I also had a giant chip on my shoulder because of being told by an emotionally abusive figure in my life that I never could do anything right. Because of this, I was always afraid to go outside my comfort zone, or make a mistake. Instead of learning and growing when getting feedback, I would take it as a personal attack and avoid the situation as much as I could. I can sometimes feel those old feelings creep in in super-tense situations but I always try to remind myself that I am not perfect and that progress is hardly ever a straight line. - Cheyenne O.
