there has to be some kind of balance, doesn't there? it can be so hard to find too. childhood stuff tends to disrupt our healthy risk assessment so we may end up hiding when it's safe or forcing ourselves into obvious risks to prove we're brave. both are extremes, but it doesn't sound at all like you're stupid. we all do things we regret after, but we also have probably all done things that could have gone badly and didn't. we become products of our choices, good, bad, and indifferent. none of this gives your supervisor a right to mock you.
