Your Type
Whenever you achieve something, your instinct is to quickly hide yourself and downplay your credit. This intentionally low-profile defense mechanism is actually your deep-seated fear of "being unable to maintain high performance"; you fear that once put in the spotlight, your next mistake will be infinitely magnified, so you choose to actively extinguish your own light in exchange for a sense of safety. But always hiding in the dark will gradually make you lose your motivation to move forward. Try allowing yourself to enjoy the spotlight just once; when you no longer fear losing the halo, you can truly shine.
