The worst (and easiest) way to pull yourself out of the race, is by not even running it. If I don't share my thoughts, I don't have to face someone disagreeing with them. If I don't apply for that dream job, I don't have to take responsibility for my career not going in the direction I want it to. That's easy. The meaningful (and hard) thing to do is to jump right into the fray and find something unique about yourself that enables you to swim.
Don't overestimate your weakness. It is just that - a weakness. Everyone has one of these. If you can't change them, find a way to work around them such that they don't paralyze you.
