an old friend coined a term for it as it applies to being a musician: the hesitation blues. it’s that feeling you get right before you play your line. it’s a sudden lack of confidence that usually leads to you stumbling musically. it makes it very heard for beginning bands to get their shit together as the whole act requires several people to be in unison.
however, if you’ve ever been confidently incorrect as a musician, you know the pain of blaring out a glaringly WRONG note.
the sword cuts both ways. the remedy is practice. this applies to things beyond music. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
It is because you know you will likely miss one note, to avoid that you focus on every single note more than usual and end up botching a total of 5. Practice doesn’t really address the root cause, it just makes it impossible to fail no matter how nervous you are.
Better approach is to calm yourself by sincerely accepting that you will miss one note and just follow through - mind blank. Most of the time you will just end up hitting everything, and if you do miss a note, it’s fine, you’ve already accepted it.
What instruments do you play?

Many licks are built off scale structures. If your fingering is off for one note, then means every note in the scale might be one note off.
if you do miss a note, it’s fine, you’ve already accepted it.
It’s only fine when you’ve got your fingering back and you know where you are on your instrument again.
On piano for example, its not only about the note but which finger lands on the note. Having your middle finger where you expect your index can mess you up even if you played all the right notes up until then.
On guitar you need to know which fret you’re on.
I have to agree with the other user practice is the way to go here. No amount of confidence can make up for the skill that comes with hard work.
At a certain point, a wrong note is just a new scale being born c:
WTF… Genies don’t talk

Unfortunately, second-guessing yourself is a vital skill. Imagine if you could never change your mind after your first thought on a subject.
not saying that would have been good for me, but damned if they wouldn’t briefly acknowledge me, and my many fiery deaths, briefly
Everything is good in moderation. Fear is a part of survival instinct, but it can also cause issues that lead to injury or death. Pain is important to keep us alive, but one can also die of too much of it.
MAGA in a nutshell and we know the fallout. Vital skill indeed.
Political extremism across the board, really. MAGA is just has the most heinous ideology behind it.
Eh, I’d say there’s a lot of second-guessing but people are just so dumb that it ends up like that anyway. And leftist extremism, while it is and can be bad in many ways, isn’t as bad as right extremism.
I specifically omitted levels of “badness” because it’s functionally immaterial to identifying that there’s a problem in the first place. Unless of course your only goal is to win a political dick-measuring contest and not effect real lasting change.
Leftist extremism is we need to destroy society. Rightist extremism is “we need to genocide black people” yeah, pretty clear one is a lot better

Playing Jeopardy and every time I go against my first impulse, I get it wrong. I always end up tricking myself thinking “surely, it’s not that obvious.” But it is always that obvious. 🤦♂️
