Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Even when something goes really well I brush it off as luck or good timing, so the win never actually counts toward believing in myself
• When something actually goes well I instantly wave it off as luck or good timing or "anyone could’ve done that," so the win never sticks to me
• When a setback hits I’m always blindsided, like I’d quietly assumed everything would just keep going fine
• When the pressure builds in a conversation, I cave on something I actually believe in just to make the discomfort stop
• I always lead with the ask and then wonder why people put up walls

Practices that may help

1. Cialdini’s Principles of Influence
   Robert Cialdini identified six near-universal levers of persuasion — reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, authority, liking, and scarcity — that bias people toward saying yes. They’re drawn from decades of social-psychology research and field studies; the principles are well established even though individual effect sizes vary by context.
