Recently, my attention was grabbed by an online article written by Mark Manson on why people fail. There is a constant struggle with many, myself included, surrounding the mystery as to why success seems to be a common characteristic of some while it eludes others. I found Manson's particular take on it interesting.
One reason may be that people are afraid to stand out from the crowd. We may have a particular talent or level of interest in something that may be different from the commonly accepted dogma but by pursuing and indulging in it, we may disrupt the relationships we have with others or even disturb our own comfort levels.
It's also possible that these self-conceptions are related to weak boundaries or lack of confidence in one's own ideals or desires.
