Thinking that some things aren’t all right to acknowledge might be more fundamental.
I was guessing that “all of the shadow stuff is about how people think of themselves (i.e. identity. I am _, I am not _.) because it’s something people get tied up in, and it’s a reason someone might want to deny something.
I also think of Perfectionism (and it’s opposites, not trying (if the standard is unobtainable*)) as being (related to) fear of failure.
*This might cash out as:
“I’m good at X” → does well, puts in a lot of effort (Maybe judges people for having low standards, or has different personal standards, whether high, nonjudgemental, distributed, etc.), may seek it out + challenges in domain

“I’m bad at Y” → doesn’t try, scrapes by, avoids/ugh field/procrastinates, says ‘it doesn’t matter’/‘i don’t care’, judges self, maybe dirty pain
(It’s not super easy to delineate ‘enjoys/seeks out thing’ from (consistently) ‘works to get better at it’.)
