• Make mistakes (lots of them, all kinds, at cringe-worthy moments)
• Don’t know what you’re doing (like, no clue how you ended up here, where you’re supposed to be headed, and how to get there)
• Can see all of the potential pitfalls and multiple scenarios ending in regret and dispair
• Are kind of panicky all the time
