i think it’s because we know ourselves the best, therefore we know what we’re capable of and if we’re not doing our VERY best/reaching our FULL potential we tell ourselves that it’s bad/not the greatest. idk if that makes sense, but i’m just trying to explain what i mean lols
buuut, i felt that...like i cringe over my books all the time! i think when it comes to writing, we’re our own biggest critics. like we’re the hardest on ourselves.
