Everyone thinks I am an amazing cook, but I am a fraud, and all this stolen glory is killing me.
Everyone from my parents to my friends and relatives thinks that i am a great cook, so much so they specifically ask me to cook when some uncles visit. bur its all a lie, all i do is copy recipes from YouTube, step by step, line by line, hook by hook, weigh everything, measure everything the only thing i do is move my hand, the brain is youtube. I have tried cooking on my own, while i am not terrible at it i just feel lost, i can never make anything remarkable without YouTube. whenever someone compliments me, i just feel this dagger in my chest like it's all a lie, if internet goes i am nothing. whenever i tell people its just youtube they dont understand how much of it is youtube.
