Every situation is different but I would assume that you didn't receive the support you needed as a child to develop that sense of confidence. I see a lot of parents talk down to their children and when you are a kid you don't know any better, you feel like the person who was supposed to love and protect you thinks you are doing something horrible, that you have been horrible. And if you internalize it, you keep feeling it. I can't know if that is your case but I think it is most likely scenario. Even if that is not it, there is a way to solve this feeling but you have to unpack where that feeling came from. You weren't born feeling this way so it is environment specific, I hope things get better

The answer to this may be unique to every individual, but acknowledging that you think that is the first step in knowing that it is not the reality of the situation. I first want to assure you that not everything you do is wrong. When addressing this question, it is important to think if there are specific situations in which you feel you are doing everything wrong. Is it in social situations? A work setting? This may help determine the anxiety surrounding why you feel you are doing something wrong in every situation. Perhaps consulting professional help would narrow down where the thought it coming from.
