I'll end this pity party before the day ends (though it must be nice Sig to post something and see it appear yesterday). I think the problem with self-doubt is that it makes us a bit schizoid. We are excessively aware of ourselves in our self-criticism in a way that contented people seem spared (though conceited people must just love their own company in their own nutty way). I don't know, despite the best efforts of seemly competent therapists, I remain more weak, flawed and unhappy than I'd like to be. And I envy anyone who can live most of their life happily looking outward unburdened by the hypervigilance of an captious inner eye.
