Basically, you lean toward one side or the other
I am unable to submit assignments well before the deadline. In fact, there are times when I don't even make the deadline. In university, I have failed many courses because of that.
However, I don't feel depressed or troubled by that. I just think that's the kind of person I am. Since there are consequences and losses resulting from not being able to submit assignments, I do try various things to improve.
However, regarding "myself who cannot submit assignments," I do not feel self-loathing or blame myself.
I just switch gears and think, "I did it again."
In this regard, I don't have any particular expectations of myself.
But it hasn't always been this way. There was a time when I fell into self-loathing over my own sloppiness. Up until about high school, I would expect things of myself, think I could do it next time, and then be unable to forgive myself for repeating the same mistakes.
There is a reason why I stopped loathing myself.
It is because that is just how things are.
It is natural for there to be things I cannot do, and in exchange, there are things I can do. Human ability is not a perfect pentagon. It has a distorted shape.
So, it can't be helped that there are things I cannot do.
Or rather, it's not a bad thing.
You can make an effort to improve, or try to overcome your weaknesses, but there is no point in blaming your own temperament for being unable to do something.
Premise: people have things they are good at and things they are bad at.
There are people whose strengths are easy to understand and are easily evaluated by the standards of today's society.
Conversely, there are people whose strengths are difficult for others or themselves to understand, and are harder to evaluate.
However, even that person who seems capable of doing everything perfectly has things they are bad at. Those weaknesses might actually be things you are good at.
You inevitably end up leaning toward one side or the other.
People who are confident and strong-willed are often bad at sensing the feelings of those around them, and
gentle people who are sensitive to others' feelings are often bad at pushing their own opinions through.
People who are perfectionists and can work hard at anything might be too strict with themselves and end up cornering themselves, and
optimistic people who don't get depressed might sometimes be unable to finish things they have no interest in.
You inevitably lean toward one side from birth.
Therefore, neither side is superior, and you have no choice but to live with the temperament you were born with.
I think you just have to play with the cards you were dealt.
If you have time to lament a bad starting hand, it is much better to use your brain to think about tile efficiency.
