I'm not a very confident person, and sometimes this leads me to overcompensate. Or am I just saying that somI don't have to face how horrible of a person I can be sometimes?

I'm not quite following your question. How are you overcompensating?

I pretend to know what I'm doing when I really don't for one thing. Then when people try to help me I wave them off, I even feel offended for them implying that I need help. Which has led to, for lack of a better phrase, the failure of major projects in my life. If I had fessed up to the fact that I had no freakin' clue what I was doing in grad school 2 or 3 years ago I might have completed it successfully, but I couldn't even admit how much I was struggling to myself let alone my advisor or anyone on my committee or my colleagues.

Don't beat yourself up about this. The fact that you are now aware of it means you can work on it and start asking for help. It does not mean you are a horrible person, just worried about the consequences of admitting that you didn't know.
