ursulav, so I don't know why I'm surprised.
A lot of us, in life, I think, have this perpetual belief that we are Doing It Wrong. "It" could be anything or everything. We buy a lot of books on how to do stuff the correct way, because we assume that whatever way we start doing it, we are doing it wrong, and it will boil over or explode or run away from home and people who actually know what they're doing will be Very Nice about it and secretly think we're morons. Low self-esteem is part of it. Some of us--many of us--are deeply convinced of their own incompetence.
Just part of a much longer post, all of which is brilliant, actually.
