I think we all felt that way at some point. Until suddenly someone is lamenting how hard trick X is or asking what seems to be an “obvious” question and then you realize: wow, I’m actually really good at trick X, and I’ve known the answer to that “obvious” question for months! Then you realize you’ve moved squarely into the intermediate (not in terms of André’s categories but in the broad sense of the word) level. You have valuable things to share with people now! ---

Sucks at yo-yoing? I believe that it’s impossible to suck at yo-yoing if you are having fun. All those that do it better are just there for inspiration. 🙂 Tap into it! ---

I felt like this about a week in… Then I got confident about myself and didn’t think I suck. Then I landed Iwasawa Tower Laceration once December last year 6 months into the hobby which greatly boosted my confidence and got me to tell myself I don’t suck ---

I’ve never felt bad at yoyoing. When I was a lot worse than I am now, I didn’t know much and exaggerated my skills. Right now I’m actually good(or else I’m still exaggerating my skills). ---

I never thought I “sucked”. I just thought of myself as a beginner who is still learning things. I was also aware of the fact that there were people that were better than me. I didn’t let that bring me down though because I knew that they started where I was at one point. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/anybody-else-feel-this-way/68084.md?page=2)
