I just listened to a podcast episode talking about creativity and skill learning and they were talking about the discomfort of learning new things. I knew I had to be comfortable with the discomfort but I didn’t realize how deeply I avoid failing. Even when I do practice quizzes for classes, I can’t stand the idea of getting the answers wrong that I just don’t do them sometimes. But then I don’t learn. I’m going to work on that because this is just insane that my thought is to give up instead of just repeat it again until I get it right.
