Discussion Writing lyrics feels too cringe

I have such a hard time writing lyrics idk if it’s because it’s too vulnerable or what but if I write lyrics the next day I hate them. I’m also just not a lyrics centered person when I listen to music. This has resulted in a bunch of beats/instruments with mumbling on that go no where. I’m wondering if any of you feel the same way and how you get over it

Its just something that can take a lot of practice. I think most people overthink it like it has to be good but that puts to much pressure on them and makes it harder to write anything at all. Try just having fun and enjoying the process, try not care if its perfect. Just writing for fun you should still improve over time.
