I've noticed some many experts out there saying "just believe in yourself",and "just jump in without overanalyzing, you don't have to be perfect". Etc. Good advice.
But I don't think it's that simple for many people.
Certain types of people automatically believe they can do anything. (Even when they can't right away!)
And others would rather get a PhD in the topic before they feel they are good at something.
They need lots of practice before they trust themselves, even if they really are just as good at it as their less worrisome peers.
The people who naturally believe they can do anything have wide faces. I'm one of them. I'll watch the kids at the skate park, how cool their moves are, and think "I could do that with a week's worth of practice". !!
People with thin faces need to get plenty of experience to feel skilled.
They'll watch the same skaters and think, "I could never do that!" Even though they could probably pick it up as easily as I think I could. :)
If you have a broad-face, try to understand thin-faced people. Don't judge them because they feel less capable than you feel.
They won't always "just do it". Even though in reality they may be as capable as you - or better - at picking up a skill with ease. They simply don't trust their ability to learn quickly, which is likely based on previous experiences. Perhaps someone in authority often told them they weren't good enough. Or they may have inherited it - look at their parents' faces too if you can.
Interestingly a number of my thin-faced friends in college all went on to get PhD's. I felt like I'd had enough school, on several levels :)
