Psychology, made clear.
Self-worth, confidence and the inner critic: thoughtful reading on how we see ourselves.
Feeling like a burden is among the most painful and most misleading thoughts. It feels like a fact, but it is usually a symptom of depression, exhaustion, illness or old beliefs about worth, and it can be treated.
The feeling of not being good enough is rarely a fact about you. It is usually a belief learned early and kept alive by comparison, perfectionism and a harsh inner voice. Beliefs can be examined, and they can change.
Insecurity is a smoke alarm for social worth, and in many people it is set far too sensitive. You do not switch it off by winning; you recalibrate it with evidence, kindness and practice.
