When your childhood worth was measured *by comparing you with others*, you learned that love comes with performance milestones and reviews attached 🏆. This taught you incredible **discipline and work ethic**, making you exceptionally **reliable and goal-oriented** in ways that others admire. You developed **extraordinary resilience** and the ability to push through challenges that would stop most people in their tracks 💪.<br><br> This came at a cost though—your nervous system learned that superhuman effort can defeat the `inferiority complex`. You *constantly earn your right to exist through increased output*. Even now, you feel *guilty for simply being* rather than doing, as if relaxation is a mortal sin rather than a human need. Your worth resets to zero each morning, requiring you to *prove your self-worth all over again*, like a phone battery that doesn't hold its charge 📱.
