I’ve come to accept this more:

> I think I’ve changed my psychology to accept more what my immediate thoughts are. Not that I only reply with what my immediate thoughts are. If I think there are problems with my immediate thoughts, I’ll think more about them and try to think of criticisms. But when I can’t think of anything better I just accept that this is the best I have.

And I will often post those immediate thoughts if I couldn’t think of something better, even if I think they weren’t very good. I think it’s good because then I can get criticism and actually get some good ideas instead of only having the bad ideas. I had to shift my mindset to care more about making progress and less about sounding smart.
