Sucking at something is the first step towards getting kinda good at something.
extra painful when you have stuff you are instantly good at, like give me an arbitrary computer/technology related task and i'll figure it out within the day
so trying things and sucking at them just feels like when games lock skills behind specific classes
When I'm teaching basic art stuff, I usually try to explain that your initial things will be bad and take forever, but you should really try to focus on the process. Not really sure how to change how people feel about themselves. :/
I believe people tend to be like this when they first start having hobbies later into their life.
For instance I played guitar when I was 10 and I sucked for a good four or five years but now I'm decent.
When I started learning piano I was very aware at how much I sucked but I had the wisdom now of knowing that it would take long to become good at piano.
I think people who don't have that early introduction to skills and crafts struggle with impatience from not understanding that everything takes time.
