I've always been the first to define the relationship, say I love you, etc. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone though I can't imagine living any other way.
I think the speaker's success (clearly she's extremely driven-- phd, perfect grades, published author, go-getter type) is at least in part a result of her feelings of not being good enough as she is. So maybe in some sense it's a positive quality? I wonder if those who reject vulnerability and don't believe themselves worthy of love (or at least not as worthy) are more accomplished. Someone who's complacent and like, "I'm beautiful with my flaws!" might be happy as a mommy blogger or part-time barista.
I guess there's a balance between complacency and ambition. While I wouldn't label myself as complacent I certainly wish I had Brene Brown's ambition.
