Do you ever look at what you wrote after some time (be it minutes,

I don't cringe, but I see the flaws in my writing after letting it sit for a week or two. It's a good thing, not a problem. Once you gain some distance from your work you can begin to repair it.

a long time ago. It is better not to do so, one should not seek oneself out of oneself

Write a really bad first draft!

Yes. It was so bad that I couldn't even finish a sentence without deleting it because I try to automatically filter everything I write before I can get down the first draft. To solve this, I've begun typing in Wingdings so my eyes can't trace over what I've written, and then when I finish a section, I just convert it to a normal font.

Yes, I often wanna beat my head with a hammer after reading my writing. Maybe it just takes time or maybe I should just fuck off.

I have the same problem except I always use pen and paper so whenever I write I wind up surrounded by crumbled up pieces of paper covered with incomplete paragraphs or even just sentences scratched through. I like your wingdings idea. Might give it a try.

I don't write but I like to draw a lot and it's always good to be critical about your work. Basically have better taste in writing than writing skills.The bad news is that it will take you years before they can match up, the good news is you can always improve your skills by reading and writing even more. Try to be critical but constructive of you work (Do hands look like that foreshortened? Is my rendering of shadows/reflections accurate? Are my proportions correct?) etc.

You're part way there. What you experience as "cringe" is unutilized editing energy.

I do not understand why I keep hearing and seeing this. Are writers deliberately giving other writers bad advice competitively?
