Nothing fancy, neither is terribly new or old. Not being able to sew is really holding me back on DIY projects.

Is there an “Operating a Sewing Machine for Dummies” video or tutorial you like?

    I’ll admit, I tend to be this way sometimes- It’s something I’m unlearning.

      Get into the habit of - “I don’t know that thing, let’s look up how to do it!”

      Everyone IRL thinks I’m some sort of fucking genius, but I’m just some dude who knows how to type what I don’t know into Google and watch YouTube videos…

        Conversations with my family members…

        Me: I did this interesting thing
        Grandma: You’re so smart, I don’t know how you can do this stuff
        Me: …I looked it up. You could look stuff up too.
        Grandma: Oh, no, I’m not smart like you.
        Me: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

        Yeah, I’ve made a lot of progress, its just a big change of perspective to internalize. I think for me its mostly fear of failure, and I’m working to internalize that failure is good and important even if it feels bad
