I don’t think this is a gotcha - yes the problem is in their head but it’s not like it manifested there by magic. It’s just another way social media makes us think we have to be perfect at everything for it to be worth showing to the world. Influencers try to simultaneously be relatable but also impossibly perfect, warping your view.
Social media didn’t invent it. When I had art and music class in school, why the fuck did I have to get graded? And why does my bumfuck nowhere local volleyball club have to have aspirations for some regional 17th league and do cardio and drills every meet? I just wanna throw ball sometimes to not get fat.
