Sorry about the girl comment. Too often it's girls who do this.

Why take it out on yourself? Are you failing yourself somehow?

It's fine (the girl comment)
And yes. I think that I could be better if I was just stronger but I'm never the strong one... I'm always disappointing others and myself with goals or things I just mess up somehow.

I had years of piano lessons. Do you have to replace the reeds now and then? (I always have wondered that.) Why did you switch?

You have to use a different reed every day. And I quit keyboarding because the teacher verbally abused me. She said I would never have a job or a family and I hated the concept of typing I already type good I don't care if I have to look at the keyboard. What right does she have to tell me I am never going to have a life? Ugh.

Do you throw away the old reeds, or can you reuse them after cleaning them or something?

There must be something about piano teachers. Mine refused to let me improvise. I had to play the piece exactly as it was written with no variations. I HATED all the classical stuff he gave me to learn. I wanted to play fun stuff and goof around with it. At home when I practiced, I got the same message.
