OK, with that in mind though, one can take this approach:

Our band practiced often so we would suck less! The audience deserves "some" respect, right? smile

Roon used to say "Yeah, it's less boring now", after I would try to clean up one of my songs. So, that became a saying, and actually a guideline we would joke about and use. We would look at Roon after working on something, and if good, he would say. "Yeah, that's less boring now". (Then on we go to the next song for practice).

So, as we really should care if we suck or not, or to try to suck less, we can adopt Roon's guideline rule of:

"How to make songs less boring"?

LOL!

See Robbie. Just have FUN with all things music, and don't take yourself or your songs serious to the point of being shy about it all. Make the process of everything FUN, while learning the craft of songwriting, which is really fluid and ever changing, to either the current, or past or future. Hold back NO MORE! Progress happens faster when you get to it with vigor and purpose. Which reminds of Lucille Ball's advertising the TV sitcom product"Vitameatavegamin"!
