Simplified Meaning:
When you are very hard on yourself, it's useless and annoying, just like listening to someone who is very bad at playing music. Imagine a person trying to play an instrument and they are really terrible at it – it makes you cringe and you'd rather not listen. It's similar when you constantly criticize yourself. It doesn't help you and nobody around you wants to hear it. Instead of putting yourself down, focus on how you can improve or solve the problem. Criticizing yourself too much is just a waste of time and energy, and it doesn’t do any good for anyone.
