  1. I understand expectations and acceptance very well. I play Sonic games.

  3. I can totally relate to that. I also always try to build mansions instead of a simple shack. I also think, I'm capable of it, but maybe I should build a few more shacks first. I'm a game developer, in private, I try to do almost everything myself. I don't use engines, I use a few libraries, but nothing too specific. I use my own math and physics, I use a pretty basic rendering library, not even that basic, but at least no engines, where everything is designed to work together. So I have to find out many things myself, and sometimes also have a look at how other people do it. I'm pretty perfectionist about it. I'm often stuck because I want to do it the right way. Sometimes I do it in some way and then I recognize it doesn't work as expected, and I'm stuck again. But I already created some components, which can be reused and are probably superior to the stuff most people use.

  4. I don't agree at all, that I should stop comparison to other people. I should compare my work with the work of other people and try to do better. But I shouldn't be sad if it doesn't work. I just didn't do it yet. And I don't care and shoudn't care about what other people think about me.
