The performance trap
Let me start by asking you a few questions.
General
Do you tolerate failure in other’s lives more than your own?
Does the fear of embarrassment keep you from doing new things?
What would be different if you could get beyond your fear of failure?
Education
How often throughout a semester do you check your grades for each class?
Do you get irritated if a teacher doesn’t post the grades right away?
If so, why?
When you have to work with a partner for a lab or an assignment, how do you feel?
If they don’t “pull their weight”, or don’t do it at the right time, do you get super angry?
When you think a test that you are about to take may make the difference between an A or a B, what do you do?
How do you feel?
How do you act?
Sports
You play a stellar game of soccer, you even score a goal, but the goalie missed that block, twice!!!
And you lost.
How do you feel about that goalie?
Are you angry at him or her? Do you wish they weren’t on the team?
Should they be benched?
You are playing basketball, a teammate steals the ball in the last minute, they pass it to you, you are in for an easy layup, no blockers, and you miss.
How do you feel?
Worthless?
Games
You are at your friends house, you get invited to play a game of Catan, or Monopoly?
You look at your watch, which you weren’t concerned with 5 minutes ago, and now you are concerned.
You say, “nah, I don’t have that long to play…maybe another time.”
Why did you refuse?
Was it really the time, or were you afraid to lose?
Are you afraid to try a new game because you might lose?
Do you just observe until you are sure you could win?
