Another much more subtle habit that I've had to alchemize, especially in recent months, is the false modesty of keeping myself small before others.
I do this a lot, the truth is mine stems from my fear of failure. I am someone who lay emphasis on my incapabilities and this is because I do not want to wrongly measure my capacity. Sometimes in life, I have had people tell me that I'm good with doing something, even if I know that I'm capable of that thing, you sometimes I allow my fear of failure belittle me. I grew up in a society where people focus on what's wrong with you rather what isn't wrong with you. They lay emphasis to your weaknesses and it was why I grew up thinking so little of myself.

Thank you very much for your comment and the vote, man! Yes, it's a hard habit to dismantle, especially if we're inducted to it an early age, because the way society works cements those attitudes toward ourselves to such an extent that they persuade us that this is part of our identity and not a perspective that can be changed.
