There are a ton of relatable quotes from this study. One that got me was:

“I listen to all feedback and take everything to heart, even if not directly aimed at me. I’m consumed with the feeling I’m not good enough. An example is when my husband moans about the messy pan cupboard it makes me feel like a failure. I know it’s not exactly directed at me but I take it to heart and it makes me feel inadequate and like I can’t get anything right. This is true for most things.”

I am consumed with the feeling that I'm not good enough.

That resonates with me so much. Whether I want to admit that or not, it's definitely always there, making me doubt myself and what I can achieve.
