having trouble with the sentence
hi, everyone, when I am writing my journal today, I have trouble with making one sentence, and I have made two with the same expressions but I think both of them are not quite grammatically correct. Can you help me with correcting the two sentences? Thanks in advance!
Perhaps finding myself much inferior to others, especially in the aspects that I am good at or supposed to be, is the hardest for me to accept.
Perhaps finding myself falling behind others, especially in the aspects that I am good at or supposed to be, is the hardest thing for me to accept.

Good try! The second sentence is a bit closer to how it would be expressed in English. Starting with "Perhaps" isn't actually wrong, but it's a bit awkward, so another way to do it is to say "might be" later on in the sentence.

I love your sentence. The second is the best way to say it, but you don't need "perhaps".

Dawei, we may say:也許對我而言，最難以接受的事莫過於在自己擅長，或是應擅長的方面上不如他人。Or this(literal translation): 也許發現自己遠遠落後於他人，尤其是在自己擅長或應擅長的方面上，是我最難以接受的事。
