I've found that that deflation comes from trying to live up to the expectations you've shared with others, rather than letting your project grow organically in isolation.
I am a person who suffers from extreme shame for not being a finisher. When I grew up my dad used drill over and over "you need to finish things" and instead I just got worse and worse at starting things.
I'd actually like to find projects now that need finishing so I don't have to be the starter and I can focus on taking projects across the line.

Very true! You know that this feature just needs to be dumped if the project has any hope of progressing, but you are now beholden to the image of your project before the constraints of reality set in. This is why every project with a high profile debut ends up missing part of the highly touted killer features.
