Always remember that looking foolish is all part of being human so onto be scared of looking foolish just be who you are don't mind what people might think to you. There is a lot to be learned from taking risk and not being perfect.
Ironically, if someone ever could achieve this impossible state of perfection, it's likely that very few people would tolerate him or her. For the perfect individual would be a constant reminder to all others of their shortcomings. Not to mention that they probably wouldn't be much fun to be with.
Usually, we strive toward being perfect to compensate for a sense of inadequacy. People who want to be perfect usually have an exaggerated sense of their own shortcomings. They typically received messages earlier in life that they weren't good enough. So they decided that only by being perfect would they be beyond reproach.
The desire to be perfect burdens many people and ironically dooms them to unhappiness. At first, we might think that trying to be perfect is desirable. Let's take a deeper look at that belief. Perfection suggests a state of flawlessness, without any defects.
Someone with whom one has absolutely no previous association.

Here’s what you are thinking. Looking foolish isn’t fun. To “look foolish” could be an embarrassment if my idea doesn’t pan out. You might be thinking that you don’t want to be made fun of. You don’t want people pointing their finger at you and saying “can you believe what he did?”.
Looking foolish doesn’t sound like a compliment. If I walked up to you at a meeting and said “you look foolish”, you would be pretty upset with me. But true innovators look foolish when they start out.
Any time you break with cultural or business norms and try something different, you will be considered foolish by some. This is especially true in the South and the Midwest portions of the United States. We find that attitudes are different here in “flyover country”. On the coasts, people are much more comfortable in taking risks. But in these parts of the country, taking risks is often considered reckless and dangerous.
It’s not the 100/0 rule. It’s the 80/20 rule. At some point, achieving ‘good enough’ is good enough. Get to that point, get something into production or a product out the door, and then look at further incremental improvements that meet your customers’ requirements.
Strategic shifts can occur over time. Don’t get it wrong, and never assume it will be perfect. Measure your successes and failures, ask questions about both, and maintain focus on your goals and your customers.
You don't know everything, and it's okay. If someone asks you a question you don't know the answer to, say, " I don't know, but let's find out .".

When you jump into something without knowledge, you look dumb. When you insist that you know the answer to every problem, you don't look bright-you look rather dim. We've all met people like this. They barge on ahead without doing their research.
Perceptions are not always reality, of course, and we don't want people to perceive that we're stupid when we're not. (Although, in all fairness, we don't want people to perceive that we're stupid when we are stupid.)
Usually, we strive toward being perfect to compensate for a sense of inadequacy. People who want to be perfect usually have an exaggerated sense of their own shortcomings. They typically received messages earlier in life that they weren't good enough. So they decided that only by being perfect would they be beyond reproach. Perfectionists tend to think that other people are somehow better or superior to them, so they need to be without flaw just to catch up. This is a terribly damaging myth.
The closest thing to perfection is in the ability to be fully present. Without any distracting thoughts measuring or grading ourselves, we're free to really be in the moment. It's at that moment that we're truly alive.
Perfection suggests a state of flawlessness, without any defects. Seeking perfection at a particular task might be achievable, and certainly, students can strive to attain a perfect grade, or you can try to accomplish a perfect job at something. Yet, the goal of being perfect in life is altogether a different story.
Ironically, if someone ever could achieve this impossible state of perfection, it's likely that very few people would tolerate him or her. For the perfect individual would be a constant reminder to all others of their shortcomings. Not to mention that they probably wouldn't be much fun to be with. Who would really tolerate, let alone enjoy being with, someone who was perfect?
A machine or electronic device may operate perfectly; at least for a while. Yet, over time it will begin to wear down and require repair. I suggest that the very notion of perfection is rooted in the paradigm of Newton's mechanistic universe. Humans, however, were never intended to be perfect. That's part of the definition of being human. Consider the expression, "I'm just human." We need to remind ourselves that the goal isn't to emulate a machine, but to embrace the imperfection of being human.
Everyone has an opinion, but elevating someone else's opinion to the status of being a judge is really silly. After all, someone else can't really judge you unless you confer upon him or her the power of being a judge.
Perfection is a terribly misplaced goal and most often compensation for what really troubles us. In the emerging worldview of a flowing and participatory universe, the construct of perfection has no basis of validity. It remains rooted in an outmoded worldview and constrains our happiness.
Vulnerable narcissists, too, used some of the assertive self-presentation tactics favored by their grandiose counterparts. The vulnerable differed in their use of defense self-presentation, including making disclaimers, offering justification, self-handicapping, and excuse-making.
Intimidation, a tactic used by grandiose narcissists, includes statements such as “I do things to make people afraid of me so that they will do what I want.”. The disclaimers used by the vulnerable narcissist would include “When I believe I will not perform well, I offer excuses beforehand.”.
In grandiose narcissism, individuals have an inflated sense of self and believe that they can do no wrong. They feel they are entitled to special favors, and react angrily and punitively to anyone who thwarts their ambitions or “deprives” them of the attention they’re convinced they deserve. Some theorists argue that both forms of narcissism derive from early childhood experiences in which individuals were treated harshly or punitively by parents. Scrape off the surface of the grandiose narcissist, according to this view, and you’ll find that weak inner core begging for approval.

Grandiose narcissists, Hart and his team argue, use assertive self-presentation styles because they are driven by approach motivation and don’t concern themselves with the possibility of unpleasant outcomes. The vulnerable narcissist, by contrast, will do anything to avoid the pain of looking weak.
Looking to be as assertive as possible, then, can be a key strategy of the narcissist. An upcoming study to be published by the University of Alabama’s William Hart and colleagues (2017) shows which narcissists are most likely to promote themselves to others in assertive ways.
Having no experience of it yourself doesn't mean that others don't. IE a rare talent of narcs is spotting the people who've learned to blame themselves, perhaps without even realising, it's so innate to their being that intuitively choosing that 'no one can make you feel bad without your permission' isn't even on their radar
