Your Type
You think truly capable people should succeed effortlessly; if a task takes a lot of time or asking for help, you feel like a fool. This morbid obsession with "talent" actually stems from an extreme fear of exposing weaknesses; you'd rather avoid challenges that require effort than risk discovering "I'm actually mediocre too." But the halo of genius is temporary; only continuous growth lasts. Allow yourself to look clumsy while learning; you'll discover that calmly facing what you don't know is true strength.
