as an aside re: previous post: I always feel uncomfortable talking out loud about accomplishments doing things with computers.

because, while I am in fact better with computers than the average person, even the average person who grew up with internet access, I am also substantially worse at them than a good chunk of the people reading my posts. Saying I accomplished something is almost bragging, y'know, and I know there's a good chance that everything I did there was a better way to do and obviously I am inviting social retribution by claiming to be good at a thing I'm not, in fact, good at.

This is a bad instinct but I still have it and I have to fight past it.

I’m worse at computers than, if not the average person, at least the average person who uses computers regularly. It’s still an accomplishment when I get something working.
