I saw my therapist today and apparently I'm suffering from "impostor syndrome." (And no, that doesn't mean that I run around with a funny mustache in disguise.)
i think i have the opposite problem where i am all to eager to hand in crap, do crap presentations, etc, just to get it over with. i wish i were more hesitant and put more thought into the quality of my work. it's like i *want* to himiliate myself in the eyes of my superiors so they won't think i'm smart and they won't expect anything from me, but deep down inside i totally fear rejection. does that make sense?
you just have incredibly high standards for yourself!
