Fear of success "is a psychological phenomenon where individuals experience anxiety and self-sabotaging behaviors when approaching or achieving their goals. It's not simply a lack of motivation, but rather a deep-seated fear of the consequences that success might bring. This fear can manifest in various ways, including procrastination, avoidance, and even self-sabotage."[1]
