Howdy Jake, Yes, you shouldn't put pressure on yourself based on the opinion of others.
We know our strength and weakness better than anyone else. We should be contented that we have done our best, and wait patiently for the results. Sometimes, it may take a bit longer for people to find us. Sometimes, we have to go back to the drawing board, and rethink our strategy. That's how we learn what works, what doesn't. That's how we improve ourselves. That's how we gain experience. That is life. 😊
Have a great weekend.
