Possibly the hardest thing is just being yourself.

society constrains people to behave in ways that are unnatural so everyone can *fit* within societal norms

free yourself from external affirmations, become ungovernable and fulfilled with the way you are

I'm good at making mistakes. Sometimes I improve, but I never make the same mistake twice.

The implication that there is a self separate from society, and that this is a natural state of being, can itself be considered a constraint imposed by western individualistic thought. I’m not entirely convinced that this external affirmation you posted offers freedom from social norms entirely.
