I Always Thought I Might Be Bad: Embracing My Imperfections

Perfection is elusive, but the desire to attain it often persists. In I always thought I might be bad, a raw and candid account of imperfection’s grip that transcends time and personality type.

We live in an age of perfectionism fueled by social media influencers and their seemingly unattainable lives. However, what if we start questioning this autopilot narrative? Will embracing our flaws make us more likable or less credible? This humorous piece tackles these questions with honesty and humor.

What Does It Mean To Be ‘Perfect’?

The idea of “perfection” can mean many things depending on context – from the perfect apple pie to being a perfect human being. The root word for “perfect” derives from Latin words perficere (“to bring to completion”) or perficere (“to accomplish thoroughly”). Consequently, something viewed as perfect carries the implication that it requires no further improvement.

But let’s face it – no one is born ‘perfect’. There are minor discrepancies here and there every day; a crooked nose or ill-shaped toes, poor communication habits- all these traits unconsciously contribute towards painting a unique individual picture where good points markedly shine over bad ones. However, just like Hans was above average looking in Frozen, some people appear better at handling life’s curveballs than others!

Ditching Presumptions: Letting Go Of Highest Expectations

Rationally speaking, if someone cannot embrace his/her own identity even after investing so much emotion into getting perceived as standardize-perfect maybe he/she should rethink precisely who they’re trying to impress!

Growing up in suburbia generates an iron-clad list embedded about what constitutes ideal behavior through familial units since birth; teachers nurture similar notions within your mind frame where achievers only earn brownie points; slowly community and friends join in. Within years, these creeds feel natural and inherent to the essence of self-esteem.

However, what happens when snapping out this delusional system brings relief? The truth emerges: one is just a tiny insignificant figure within an ocean of other equally imperfect human beings fighting their own battles while learning from each other’s experiences – some individuals need more work than others!

Laughing at oneself or others

You might have heard people bandy about jokes on topics highly embarrassing for someone else as ‘self-effacing humor’. Such sudden outbreaks are not limited by cultural upbringings or race-specificities but welcome attempts worldwide to poke fun at ones’ flaws with light-heartedness.

It’s said that great writers often express themselves through characters scarred by similar faults they witness around them- Personal means accessible art! This laughing-at-oneself phenomenon could be described as cathartic; owning mistakes bursts insecurities away like a therapeutic peacekeeper.

Think of it as sharing vulnerability – After all: who are you without your shortcomings anyway? Imagine getting directed towards being perfect every time something goes sideways? How boring would life get without comic-reliefs such as Rajhesh Krishnan Songs on Youtube?

Imperfect Circumstances Can Lead To Perfect Outcomes!

Blessing Disguised: A New Way To Look At Failures!!!

We often assume wrongly that imperfections lead directly to failure. In fact, many examples prove quite the opposite– the hero stories we cherish could be interpreted as consisting solely out of repeated failures pushing against odds till success shines through!

Take Marie Curie (first woman ever awarded two Nobel Prizes), J.K Rowling (whose “Harry Potter” series alone amassed billions) – mostly written from impoveruous studio apartments , Oprah Winfrey (once fired from her job). These inspirations show us how messed-up circumstances can catapult us towards creating an imaginative reality closer to our own vision – despite the flaws and detours!

Embracing Imperfections: Moving Closer To Being ‘Perfect’

The idea of imperfection can be scary, but it’s essential to realize that striving toward perfection does not define who we are as human beings. Nothing that gains from real self-esteem and progress towards personal goals starting with accepting one’s true identity becomes more honest than willingness to accept imperfection!

Embracing our natural tendencies for errors opens channels within us required for learning ‘to own’ one’s individuality without diluting it in social conformity. According to research by Harvard Business Review (HBR), employees reporting greater support for diversity and inclusivity have a stronger sense of belonging on these terms naturally making an employee happier at his/her workplace – because they’re no longer forced into being replaceable.

Takeaway

Perfection is impossible, yet society glorifies that concept more swiftly with each passing day nevertheless perfect doesn’t always equate good. Every experience has taught me something I hadn’t known before, Which is why embracing your imperfect-self is just another stop closer to realizing perfectly valid truths behind different walks of life – humanizing maturity like never before!

In sum, acceptance repairs self-worth; owning faulty behavior breaks mental shackles preventing breakthroughs, Allowing confidence-inducing realization that sometimes overcoming any shortcomings may lead us onto creating limitless opportunities while shattering stereotypes along the way!
