Refusing to learn any new skill unless you’re immediately good at it, is a form of self-sabotage. Give yourself the mental freedom to enjoy the process, as much as the results. Be humble, be teachable, and always keep learning, because life never stops teaching.

-requires, I fell into a pit of fear and got terrified. Because my first, half-assed attempt got me nowhere. And I had to deal with being average between my peers, not in the top three. So something in my mind tells me I shouldn't do it, because I can't. I will not be able to.
That sounds very plausible and also a difficult problem to solve... like how can someone tell whether they have unrealistic expectations if their only prior experience is of success? Should somebody have intervened and made stuff artificially more challenging?

I believe what could have helped me was letting me fail without making it into this epocal event. I remember that when I tried something new such as sports out of curiosity and finding I didn't like them, my family would shame me for having given up.

I was already trapped in this cycle of wanting to be perfect immediately, so I would give up because it costed me work and fatigue I didn't want to spent. But my parents making it such a shameful deal further proved me that error is not possible in this my equation.
