I couldn't give a proper self-introduction
Whenever I try to write a proper self-introduction,
I somehow can't seem to write it well.
I have no background, no titles, and no special achievements.
I haven't accomplished anything either.
I am just a person who has,
time and time again, dragged around
the days when I couldn't do things properly.
It's not that I haven't tried my best,
but for some reason, only guilt remains.
I end up labeling the days I couldn't move forward
as "failures" more than necessary.
Since hitting my late twenties,
the anxiety about work and the comparisons with those around me
have become quieter, but definitely heavier than before.
For a long time, I thought,
"It's because I'm weak."
But that wasn't it.
I wasn't weak;
it was just that the design of my thinking had always been a "structure of self-blame."
In this note, rather than words to comfort emotions,
I am deconstructing the "structure" of the thinking that keeps me blaming myself.
・The true nature of late-twenties anxiety
・Deconstructing the "I have to do it properly" syndrome
・The background of the habit of acting tough
・Ways of thinking that don't turn days you couldn't do things into failures
・Childcare records of a new dad
I am writing these pieces so that I don't pretend
that the times I felt shaken never happened.
If you are new here, please start from here.

▶︎ Paid articles
Even if you can't do things properly,
design a way to still move forward.
That is the theme of this note.
