Yep, fair enough. As you say, to each his own. I would argue that a life spent believing you're not good enough is also not a good way to live, but that's a tradeoff for each individual to make for themselves.

Be kind to yourself :)

FWIW, I struggle to relate to "competers". I do things because they make me fulfilled (or put food on the table), not to "win" or be the best at something. I don't think it's something everyone can relate to.
