for example this could be someone who believes they'll never succeed in math because they weren't born a genius a person with a fixed mindset may feel unmotivated to learn because they believe that they're not cut out for it. When this is actually far from the truth in contrast if you develop a growth

mindset you're able to embrace challenges learn from failures and persist through setbacks. 

3. Excessively seeking reassurance. Do you constantly find yourself pondering the question, Am i doing it right on countless occasions excessive reassurance seeking is involved in the development of depressive symptoms. This shows its

other were negatively associated with overall marital satisfaction showing that ultra high expectations can harm relationships. Therefore consider assessing the expectations you hold for yourself and others. It's always a good idea to cut

yourself some slack.
