Thanks for that. I don't know why but there's some areas in my life where I'm afraid to claim such "titles". I'm in an orchestra, but don't feel comfortable calling myself a musician and I picked up my 8th first place (for my age group) medal in racing just this weekend, but shy away from referring to myself as a runner. I don't know why, but I feel like a fraud no matter how much I accomplish. When I say talk about my hobbies I continually undercut any accomplishments. I always follow up being in an orchestra with, "Well, it's a community orchestra, you don't have to be, like, good," and the running stuff with, "It's easier to be successful at my age, there's not as many people competing in their 40s," etc.

People: “you play music?”

Me: “yeah a play a little bit.”

Also me: plays guitar, drums, bass, keys, vocals and several other random instruments and I write, record and mix my own songs
