小贴士
we often practice a skeptical attitude towards ourselves or others consciously or unconsciously. self-skepticism is the sign of lacking confidence while doubting others is due to the lack of trust in them. we would never imagine the skepticism would lead some astoundingly negative consequences. self-skepticism would discourage our inner confidence and torture us in the shadow of failure, while doubting others would make us feel lack of security and live in the state of danger presumed by ourselves.
我们常常自觉或者不自觉地怀疑自己、怀疑别人。怀疑自己是缺乏自信的表现，而怀疑别人很多时候是因为缺少信任，殊不知这种怀疑常常会导致我们意想不到的恶果。怀疑自己导致我们内心受挫，总是生活在失败的阴影里；怀疑别人则让我们缺乏安全感，总是生活在自己假想的危险中。
