My hobby is flintknapping. There literally is no getting around the learning curve, because it’s a difficult one. And it’s a dangerous hobby, one slip and you’re having surgery to reconnect a tendon. Those who shit on beginners are just insecure in their hobby (and likely everything else in life)

Nah cause I remember being a beginner. Besides it takes courage to start new stuff as an adult- you get used to a certain amount of dignity, and being bad at something hurts. In short, no, I’ll just be impressed you’re trying, if I even think about you at all

Thanks this helps! I feel the same it’s just I get in my head a little too much sometimes. I’m trying to start running and I can’t even run well. I’ve never been good at it and it is so humiliating just from a self reflection perspective I don’t need someone else judging me.
