Just be yourself.

I think David Foster Wallace said something like "If you worship intelligence you will end up feeling like a fraud always on the verge of being found out." That was in his This Is Water speech he gave at some college commencement

>>17926812
He must've said that before he killed himself, eh.

>>17926660
wow im on step 6 already

>>17926817
You got that right lol. I haven't read him, but that speech and other talks he gave where he doles out critical wisdom like this seems like it all stems from the shortcomings he found within himself

>>17926456
The same way you stop being a dyel, you keep lifting.

>>17926817
Kinda hard to take life advice from a man who killed himself. But its still pretty interesting, desu.

read robert graves' poems

Forgive yourself up to this point, set up a plan to learn something, follow through with your plan. You are not broken anon, you can legitimately feel this way and its ok, People feel inadequate all the time. Even successful people. Wanting to improve your skills is not cringy.
For me it was allowing myself to feel sad when I failed, but also allowing myself to be happy when I do something good.

>>17926456
Listen to the pseudcast.

I don't see how any of that makes you a pseud if you are genuine in wanting to change. Most of the pseud nonsense I see on here involves those with a distinct lack of self awareness trying to masquerade as cultured or possessing higher taste. You can usually spot them because they'll talk about how X book is "shit" and you should either read a different book by an ancient Greek or some obscure novel by a dead Frenchman or something. They'll usually be unable to justify exactly why beyond something vague about "the pursuit of truth and beauty" or something else they've probably read in another comment. It's basically the opposite of those idiots on reddit who'll sy that reading Harry Potter as an adult is a serious endeavour, except with the same cope-laden mentality

>>17926988
Loved that, thank you

>>17926456
Maybe stop being a cuck who humiliates himself by posting those pics????

>>17926456
a lot of what was already said but mainly that you admit that you know nothing, you're okay with your mental limits, and you seek knowledge truthfully and honestly not getting pissed off at people that have different ideas from you

Easy
Just do online iq test when in primary school get high score and convince yourself that you are superior to everyone else. That way you won't have friends and you certainly won't improve.

its a born thing, either you try to be pretentious in scenarios and contribute trite garbage or you can accurately give exactly whats needed without excess
