I actually think my sense of inadequacy is so deeply rooted that being competitive was (is) always a conscious strategy for dealing with it. Being good at something made me think, "Hey--if I succeed at this, they'll have to admit I'm good at something."

I went completely to the other extreme end of the spectrum. I've made it my life's goal to accomplish *absolutely nothing*. "I'm inadequate AF but look how well I've mAdE iT wOrK fOr Me" has been my motto for AT LEAST nine years by now.
