This self-efficacy problem has grown in times of mass media. This is a great point from experience, thank you, and it rings true with me for certain! It's a well-researched sociological understanding, that the "perfect" in our mass media aggregation does often ddispirit the local, craft and beginner in any field ( for example, think music: it used to be really hard to make anything that sounded as good as what you had on a record, because there were not the tools at home). It's only now that I have found friends and a meta-community who are into making things that I feel enabled again, after years (decades!) of feeling alone and with way-too-high a mountain to climb.
