“And as an adult, your self-worth is all tied up in your accomplishments. So even when you’re successful, you don’t feel as if you’re good enough. The minute you’ve achieved something, the achievement gets added to the list of things that make any failures even more noteworthy. And when you do fail at something, it feels like the end of the world. Since you’re certain you should have, and could have, succeeded, even if you don’t know how.”
