I need to remember that just because I do something, that doesn't automatically make it boring, insignificant, or worthless.
Yes, this. I remember having this discussion with you a decade ago on a.c., when you were just determined to believe that anything YOU did well was so easy that ANYONE could do it well if they just tried, while anything someone else did well that you had trouble with was proof that you were stupid and worthless for not being able to do it easily. You never saw, back then, that those two arguments were mutually incompatible; I think you do see it now.
It's only the Goddamn Tapes that believe your accomplishments mean nothing, and you can tell them to STFU; it's not easy, but it can be done.
