12. The Overly Critical Student: When Self-Doubt Takes Over High-Risk Students: Overcoming Self-Criticism

High-risk students are often their own harshest critics, carrying an internal dialogue that magnifies their flaws and diminishes their abilities. They’re quick to downplay their successes, brushing them off as luck, while every mistake feels like proof of inadequacy. This relentless self-criticism can hold them back, fueling a cycle of low confidence and disengagement from challenges. It’s not just that they fear failure—they expect it, and this expectation can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
