Procrastination: We might put things off because we don't... - Deepstash

  1. Procrastination: We might put things off because we don't want to expose ourselves as a fraud or a failure.
  2. Perfectionism: We keep striving to get it right so we can't be exposed.
  3. Being a workaholic: We overcompensate by over-committing, so no one can tell us we're not good enough.
  4. Avoidance or apathy: We lower our goals as a coping mechanism. If we don’t do well, we can then claim we didn’t really try, anyway.
  5. Blaming others: We blame others when things go wrong, because our own failure would be devastating.
