Some argue that people are not wired to that way. Look at a child, they have no fear or negativity, any activity they do they fully devote themselves to this and if the outcome is Good, they are happy if it's bad, they don't exactly pause and overthink.

It's just the family and society and education unintentionally start it by "It's just the way it's" rule and eventually it get imprinted on our mind and we started belittling ourselves.When you make decisions or have experiences in life, it is common for you to draw conclusions afterward. If, for example, you fall in love and it ends in heartbreak, you might conclude that love always ends in pain.These sorts of negative experiences, in particular, can strongly shape your limiting beliefs. It’s important to remember that the conclusions you come to after bad experiences happen are only valid temporarily.

Now the good news is that once you have identified the problem it's time to initiate the solution. There's always a room for the improvement.

Start changing your perspective, improve in areas that you earlier taught "you weren't built for",notice the causes of limiting belief and modify it or seek help if you feel it's affecting you.

Conclusion is by working and challenging yourself to change your beliefs. It enhance your confidence and performance and motivates others to be better.
