Why self limitation?
Anxiety frequently masquerades as prudence, making rational thoughts appear irrational. Cultural expectations push us toward mediocrity, and inner voices echo “don’t aim high.”
Often, we compare ourselves against unrealistic standards set by social platforms. Such comparison creates a loop of insecurity that feeds the small‑play mindset.
