I've always wanted to be a bit better than I actually am. That being said, it's not necessarily a bad thing, as it has constantly forced me to learn new things and advance in my craft.
What, however is rather bad, is that I've never accustomed to do things like the others. If I see everyone and their friends using method X or sample library Y for fast and efficient results, you can bet your ass off I will turn away, forcing myself to find altenative methods instead. Because surely, if they all do this because it's easy and fast, everyone can do it- and I should be better than that everyone, whoever that is.
And more than once, it has turned out there is a good fucking reason why some methods are more popular than others and I've been mostly just wasting my time on trying to get the same results, only slower and sometimes even worse.
