The potential thing has to be one of the most damaging things you can say to someone. Not many things instill quite as much self-doubt.

I'm nearly 24 and recently I realised that the fact I heard that sentence seemingly on loop my entire life is perhaps the most contributing factor in my self doubt and anxiety :) I hate it, I'm trying so hard to unlearn it

I got almost a decade on you, I got diagnosed at the end of 2021, it's taken years of therapy to unlearn some of those behaviours. Seriously don't beat yourself up over it
