Gary Stu also. Self inserts are probably one of the best ways to kill one's growth as they become too attached to an ideal that may just be a phase.

Yep them too.
It's not that unusual to create Mary Sue characters especially in the early stages of one's storytelling career. I think most people who keep it up will eventually move past it as it's extremely boring to work with.
If you're invested with your ideals, they don't seem so. I remember my own perfect characters until I grew out of them. Some can't let go.
