I always tell my friends when they're insecure "cringe is dead write what you want" but I constantly have them same insecurity when I have an idea and feel self conscious about it.

I feel like a hypocrite. Why is it so much harder to reassure yourself?

In my case it's because my brain is dumb. Intellectually, I know that my friends and I would not negatively judge each other for what we wrote. Psychologically, I can't shake the conviction that when I do it, it'll be awful and embarrassing and everyone will know what an idiot I am. That's not right, and honestly it's more than a little unfair to my friends. But anxiety's a bitch, you know?

Because we can see all of the good stuff in our friends writing and only the bad in our own.

We often are our own worst critic.

More than once I'd tell a friend some shortcomings I had that I wanted to improve on, and they'd always respond with, "I think you're great at that thing!"

My inner critic always tells me, "Your friend is only saying that to be nice," though these days I allow myself to thank my friend for their encouragement.

It's so hard to reassure yourself, I agree. You're trying your best though, nonny, so I hope you can be a little kinder to yourself.
