Yeah, this is like when people say “you aren’t bad at X, you just need to do Y to improve at it”. Like. What is “improving” if you cannot be good or bad at something?
So the sentiment of the OP is good, but I feel like they’re motivated to use these definitions in really weird ways. Like yes, you should focus on how you can improve and you should know that it is possible to do so, and normal to need to do so, and you won’t have these things wrong with you forever. But that doesn’t techhnically mean there’s nothing wrong with you; if there weren’t, you wouldn’t need to do these things to improve.
I think that makes this advice useful for people who need to feel it intuitively, but easily “misinterpreted” for people who are more literal about things.
