I relate to this a lot. I've always felt stunted in my knowledge of many subjects, my lacking vocabulary, narrow interests in music, inexperience in most things, etc. When I moved in with my father at the age of 13, us kids were always told things along the lines of "you guys were raised wrong, your mother was a bad parent" in reference to our incompetence in some things. I'm also a perfectionist, believing that if I didn't get an A in all my classes, ace all my exams, etc. then I should be ashamed of myself (I wasn't able to be perfect such things). I believe these mindsets are setting me up for failure. I never set realistic goals for myself. I feel like I know so little.
