This explains why I feel the way I do perfectly.

However, if I show myself compassion for my shortcomings and failures, it doesnt mean others will. I've been passed on by employers and potential partners because of my shortcomings and failures. Because of that Im afraid to put myself out there, because as the speaker says, they will "find out" and judge me harshly.

To be totally honest I have run across employers and potential partners who were empathetic to my shortcomings and failures, but they are by far the exception to the rule. I would say the chances of running into someone who is empathetic is 1 in 5 or even 1 in 10.
