Identifying the fear of failure
The fear of failure may affect people in a variety of ways, which means that it's not always easy to identify:
- Believing that you don't have the skills or knowledge to achieve something
- Feeling like you won't be able to achieve your goals
- Procrastinating to the point that it affects your performance or ability to finish on time
- Telling people that you will probably fail so that expectations remain low
- Underestimating your own abilities to avoid feeling let down
- Worrying that imperfections or shortcomings will make other people think less of you
- Worrying that you will disappoint others if you fail
