Oh yeah I complelt understand what you mean, Ishmael; being considered “””smart””” really does make you more prone to the fear of failure, at least in my experience

@Time: basically, if you’re constantly told that you’re “smart” and that you’re “better”, you become a lot more sensetive to failure, because that’s not supposed to be something you’re supposed to experience. However, since you did experience failure as a ”smarter/talented” person, it makes you think of yourself as less. Of course, this doesn’t apply to all people and I don’t know if this is what Ishmael meant but yeah, it is the failure thing (in my opinion)
