The fear of failing
Verrrrrrrry interesting if true (and it seems very possibly true to me):
"The fear of failing can make a person quite changeable. Soon they develop a suspicious nature and lack any motivation - which causes them to be lazy and neglect their responsibilities. This results in nervousness and confusion - they become afraid, mistrustful of others and even begin to doubt their abilities and their value as a person."
"You may procrastinate to such an extent from fear of failure that you are actually paralyzed."
"Teens may develop such a fear of failure that they are unwilling to try in the first place. These teens may fear that the harder they try, the more crushing a failure would (be) because failing at something you try hard to do may reflect a basic incompetence" (This clearly applies to more than teens.)
