Being unable to find a point at which I'm happy with the outcome. I have an uncontrollable fear that what I create is not good enough to share, be it articles or code, while my rational self acknowledges that the quality is more than ok and might help others.<p>I never wrote about basic "How to FP in X language", "Here's a script I wrote over the weekend, it's amazing", "How to git" articles. This limitation I have on myself pisses me off when I read most of the content on medium / dev.to. I see that people are going for cheatsheets / how-to-x-in-10-minutes-but-not-really-understand-what's-going-on content, and I feel that either my content will not be consumed, or it will be discarded as pretentious.<p>Add to this that English is my second language, and other personal insecurities and flaws (vanity - "I need to appear smart to my peers", vanity guilt - "I'm trying to pose as someone else", etc), and you've got a pretty bad recipe.<p>Over the years this has turned into over countless abandoned blogs and side projects.<p>Lately I'm trying to fix this and other issues (not connecting to people, etc) by streaming while I do stuff, but often I don't manage to convince myself to do it.<p>This is very much an emotional problem that I am aware of, and I notice the harmful patterns as the thoughts surface in my mind, but I'm not strong enough to block yet.<p>^ everything here applies to comments as well
