I said I was embarrassed I spent so much time and money trying to make them work for me when they obviously weren't working. It's absurd I was spending years trying to make it work when I could have just switched back to flats and been much happier and enjoyed my rides a lot more. I just bought into the "must make clipless work because they must be better" mentality.

The picture of non-functionality was there for me. Maybe a third things are true for everyone and the other half vary from one person to another.

I agree but seems like the convo only goes towards saying clipless is good and getting upset at it's drawbacks, I think one should be able to discuss the pro's and the con's of them.
If you're having trouble with them like I was there's no reason to try to force yourself into them like I was doing.
