    midwestgenderqueer: [image: black and white hand drawn block letters: “To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong.”] Being wrong is one of my biggest fears. Which is funny, because I’ll readily admit to being imperfect. And I am generally patient with others’ imperfections (I didn’t say always, I said generally.) But I hold myself to an impossible standard and, in doing so, give far too much power to those who would find fault. I wish I only cared about not hurting others, instead of not bothering/inconveniencing/annoying others. I wonder how much of that comes from being “squashed” emotionally/creatively sometimes when my parents didn’t see things the way I did.

      Dope. Maybe, also, a need for external validation. But validation and a fear of being wrong are totally related in that...
