Shannon frequently meets a tremendous amount of resistance whenever she wants to assert herself in a decisive way or do something just for herself. This resistance stems from within (in the form of self-doubt, fear, or a heavy sense of responsibility toward others), as well as from practical and circumstantial limitations. Especially when initiating a project or acting independently, Molly Shannon may tell herself that she is not really prepared, or that she is not good enough (yet), and she puts a lot of pressure on herself.
