You no longer see the problems or difficulties or challenges or duties or responsibilities as necessities that is, things you must do but as things you should avoid. You become incapable of going through your problems rather you take pleasure getting around those problems or duties or responsibilities. Doubting yourself limits you from doing the needful.

Things that you are capable of doing in the first instance, you no longer can do or stand them.
