This is some of what I hear: you worry, you worry, you worry.

Stop.

a quote from my current read:

I feel myself. But it's only the eye with a lash in it, the swollen finger, the infected tooth that feels itself, is conscious of its own individual being. The healthy eye or finger or tooth doesn't seem to exist. So it's clear, isn't it? Self-consciousness is just a disease. from We by Zamyatin

I suffer from self-consciousness much less than I used to. I also stopped measuring my potential so much as it made me miserable. _{no apology needed, no offense taken. thanks for seeing me}
