Your Type
You always attribute your success to luck or others' help, never mentioning your own effort and ability. This excessive humility and external attribution is actually a self-protection mechanism you use to lower others' expectations; you fear that if you admit your ability, the pain of falling from a height in a future failure will be unbearable. But refusing to acknowledge success also deprives you of the chance to build genuine confidence. Next time someone praises you, try just smiling and saying "thank you," and internally applaud yourself once, because you earned it.
💡 Did you know?
Attributing success to external factors (External Attribution) is a psychological defense mechanism. By denying skill, future failures hurt less, but it strips away confidence building.
