The human animal has a hard time dealing with feelings of inferiority.
In the face of superior skill, talent, or power, we are often disturbed and ill at ease;
this is because most of us have an inflated sense of ourselves.
When we meet people who surpass us they make it clear to us that we are in fact mediocre, or at least not as brilliant as we had thought.
This disturbance in our self-image cannot last long without stirring up ugly emotions.
Don't ever be embarrassed about your life. We all go through things that shake us, humble us, or force us to start over. Moving back home, losing your job, getting your heart broken, hitting rock bottom, and struggling mentally are all part of being human.
