“The sting of failure can drive us to numb or block emotion. So even if you don't initially notice the feeling, you can notice the blocking behaviours.”

When someone we love is suffering, sometimes the stress that it brings up can give us the urge to escape how we feel about their pain. But when we do that, we can feel even more helpless and paralyzed because we stop ourselves from providing even some low-level support that could help us to feel more confident in the supporting role.

Shame is not as helpful for motivation as you might think.

When we set ourselves unrealistic expectations, we become trapped by them. That means we suffer whenever there is any sign that we may not be living up to them.
