Success Me: "Cool"

Mistake Me: "Cool"

My secret? I am preemptively freaked out about failure at all times. When I succeed, I am relieved. When I fail, it's as I expected.

This is honestly a big part of why I retired. The constant "I'm gonna fuck something up" anxiety was really overwhelming at times.

I too have this stoic-like outlook. Still, mistakes give me that uneasy brooding feeling that it could've been prevented, I just had to think more or be a little less absent-minded.
