You’re in your 20s or 30s and doing the things that are supposed to lead to success and happiness. People tell you you’re bright and capable, and maybe you know you are, but you don't always feel that way. No one fully knows that side of you that’s anxious and self critical. No matter what you do, you can't stop thinking about all the ways you're falling short, or all the things that might go wrong. For a while it felt easiest to put work and other people first, rather than finally prioritizing and exploring yourself and your needs.
