How do other people deal with the "you should just give up now so you never have to see how badly you fail" thoughts

I practice intermittent quitting.

Oo I like the sound of that. Tell me more. What's the quitting ratio?

It’s more frequent these days. But basically, the feeling of wanting to give up is pretty consistent for me so I just give myself permission to prioritize *myself* over my work sometimes. The real work I’ve been doing is overcoming the fear of failure in the first place.

I try to remember that most people don’t know what they’re doing and have failed before and will fail again. I think about mediocre men doing work beyond their skillset, like even leading entire countries. So I do the work when I can and try not to feel precious about the outcome

Tbf that is VERY reassuring. It's hard not to feel capable next to some leaders.

A big part is how you talk to yourself, so treating yourself like a good friend would and giving yourself a break if you need. Don’t worry about keeping up with imaginary benchmarks of other people’s performative productivity. Especially right now.

Thank you. Yeah, I tend to be extremely harsh on myself in my head, since there's no-one else in there to say otherwise. I'm trying to do a CTRL+F Find And Replace on every instance of "Gahh I hate myself" and "I can't do this" and it is a BIG undertaking trying to catch them all

Yes! It’s such hard work! But worth it!
