    stretch your current abilities to an uncomfortable level and embrace honest feedback, even if it destroys what you thought was good.

    That's not necessarily fun though

Then I guess I'm just weird :)

A more serious explanation: I think there's inherent beauty in doing any thing well, regardless of what that thing is. This is why it's always cool to see people talking about the things they really care about, even if I absolutely don't care about that thing. Passion is cool. Doing things well is cool.

Also I hate losing.

It's satisfying for sure, but it's not fun in the spaß sense of the word.

Totally agree. (One of my favourite subreddits is /r/ATBGE.)

The perfectionist in me always strives to do things well from the get-go. Which so far has worked wonders, but the downside is that I avoid failure like the plague and thus don't always know how to deal with it.
