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

• The instant I see someone else win, my gut reads it as me losing
• When someone I know succeeds, my gut reaction is this clench, like they just took something off the table that was supposed to be mine
• It’s match point, the moment it matters most, and that’s exactly when my head floods with "don’t blow this"
• 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 I see someone living the life I want, this hot wave of envy hits and I just feel small and resentful
