It's because you're a perfectionist. I think I recognize the pattern, because I'm one. Never good enough. Never believe it when I'm told I've done well. It's an unhealthy aspect to the artistic temperament if you believe some psychological typologies.
I think you got me pegged on that one. The 'resign myself to mediocrity early' thing still applies though, whether it's root cause is perfectionism or not. Who needs more guilt in their lives, honestly? (Catholics and serial killers/sociopaths are disqualified in that question, though... ;) )
