growing up as a gifted and talented student made me ridiculously ashamed of being wrong. like being wrong about the littlest things makes me want to cry and hate myself and i turn back into the big baby i actually am.
FINALLY SOMEONE PUT THIS INTO WORDS FOR ME
#realizing and accepting that I am a fucking idiot after a childhood of thinking I was brilliant #has been a slow and painful journey
I had a professor that whenever someone apologized for giving a wrong answer would always say, “it is not your job to know everything. You are allowed to make mistakes. You don’t need to apologize, because it is my job to fill in the gaps you don’t know..” and honestly? It did wonders for accepting yourself
