I appreciate your making yourself vulnerable here. I feel that too often, people (myself included) omit relevant parts of their experience for social web / status maintenance reasons. If important parts of someone’s experience are left out because it’s too revealing to discuss, then they neglect a core aspect of their rationality training and miss an opportunity to grow from the ensuing discussion.
That is, if one only shares past accomplishments (and never discusses present difficulties), people aren’t able to leverage the community at all and have to figure out everything on their own / via their existing social framework.
