This really resonated with me. I was very much the same at school and have had a similar experience since graduating in 2021. But since then I've learnt to make mistakes, seek out new opportunities, though a part of me is definitely in that not-giving-it-100% mindset.
Thanks for this write up Clay! Really appreciate you sharing your wisdom as well as personal life experiences. I truly relate to this subject and I'm certain a lot of animators do also as we are all in an environment working with the best constantly being judged on a daily basis. The more I hear similar stories, the more I find out that even the most seasoned animators and directors like yourself struggle with this hindering 'perfectionism'. Thank you always for the encouragement.
Thanks Clay.
Stay golden, Pony Boy!

Good to know I'm not the only one. If you can get past the initial paralyzing fear, you're halfway there. Keep it up!

Thanks for saying so Nara! It's not easy when you're surrounded by giants, but there's a path for each of us to find for ourselves.
