Not being myself in order to fit in
Equaling making mistakes with failure
Keeping within my comfort zone
Not always trusting my gut feeling
Not daring to express my opinion and sticking to it
Not having enough fun and taking things too seriously

What feedback am I getting from the people around me?
How is my overall well-being? Energy levels?
Am I learning new things?
Am I having fun?
