Oh yeah. If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear the little voice telling you to do the "bad" things, whatever they are. Some schools of psychology call that "the bad self-object". It's like in the old cartoons, when a character had a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, and they were both versions of himself. A dysfunctional raising up will have you listening to the "devil" side more - not doing things that would be supportive of your success.
