I believe that's true. We're our own worst critics, especially if we're hard on others.
In America, not sure of other countries, we have a thing for natural talent too. That people should wake up and be amazing at any kind of art or you'll never be as good. I have no idea why that's the case. Everyone wants people to look up when they perform or see that reaction of being stunned at how great they are naturally. Maybe a hidden talent?
It's weird since most people that are high up in entertainment, like singing or acting,, had parents that either paid to teach them, they have good genes and/or they grew up learning that stuff over years in front of trusted critics, their family. The family treated them like apprentices.
