Idk.. my whole life I've felt nothing from any accomplishments. It just seems like nothings enough & there's always so much more left to do. Idk how to be proud of myself.
I never really thought about it deeply but maybe a lot of us feel that way because we never got that encouragement or people being excited for us when we accomplished things. Idk. I think I typically try to be happy for everyone else but I'm never really happy for me

No .. It has to do with my upbringing...it was never good enough for my Mother ...nothing I did was ...I'm used to not getting validation and therefore don't seek it out .....
@SW-User yeah, thats exactly what this post is about. How not getting to celebrate accomplishments or being made to feel like we did a good job, leads to us not feeling that for ourselves as we get older. Almost feels like our accomplishments are just "whatever" still, because thats what they were always treated as before

@ChiefJustWalks I'm the opposite with my kid ...I tell him how proud i am of him because I know he works hard and tries his best . I don't want him to feel like he isn't good enough .
