WOW. I can't believe how much what you just said describes me as well. I'm always the "perfect" one everyone looks to for answers or strength - friends, family, coworkers. I hate being wrong so I go to great lengths to make sure it doesn't happen. If it does, I beat myself up way more than is necessary. Even though I'm the one who created this mold for myself, I think other people have shaped their expectations of me around it, so I really do feel like I let people down by being flawed in any way.

Boy can I ever relate to this, especially!
