Being Greedy

Pre-emptive guilt

Guilt · Shrink · Apologise

You apologised for asking for what your work was actually worth. Lo sabemos.

What this archetype looks like

You worry that wanting more money says something bad about you. Because of that, you may ask for less, charge less or deny yourself things you can afford. The good part is that you care about fairness and do not want to exploit people. The hard part is that under-asking can hurt you and the people you want to help. Wanting more is not the same as taking from others. What helps is learning the difference between greed and healthy self-support.
