"Goodness Me!" — a Survey on Self-Doubt

(continued from page one)

Sorry, this survey is no longer accepting new submissions.

About your feelings of self-doubt --

About this friend or co-worker who caused you to question your own worth — Did he or she shake your confidence in your own goodness? Did you doubt your suitability as a friend, your integrity as a person, or your maturity or responsibility?

What did he or she do or say that made you question yourself?

Nagging Questions:

Sometimes, the period of self-doubt and reflection is marked by a question you ask yourself repeatedly, like

• "Do I really talk too much?"
• "Am I careless with other people's belongings?"
• "Do I tend to go where I'm not welcome?"
• "Am I rude?"

Did you ask yourself such a question over and over during this time? If so, what was the question? (optional)
