Self-doubt
TopicHeard in 1 episode across 1 show since Aug 2026
Self-doubt is a psychological state characterized by uncertainty, indecision, and a lack of confidence in one's own abilities, decisions, or worth. It often manifests as a suspension of belief between contradictory choices, potentially leading to hesitation, anxiety, or the delay of important actions. While sometimes serving as a protective mechanism to prevent mistakes, persistent self-doubt can hinder personal growth and decision-making.
