The seeker.

Not living up to your full potential can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction, failure, and lack of fulfillment. When individuals have a deep sense that they are not utilizing their abilities, talents, and skills to their maximum capacity, it can take a toll on their mental well-being. This discrepancy between what they believe they are capable of achieving and their current reality can lead to a decrease in self-esteem and self-confidence, eventually leading to symptoms of depression.

Moreover, not living one's full potential often means settling for an unfulfilling life that lacks meaning. This can create a sense of emptiness and constant longing for something more, which further fuels feelings of discontentment and unhappiness. When individuals cannot pursue their passions, goals, and dreams, they may feel a sense of hopelessness and despair. This continuous dissatisfaction and lack of purpose can contribute to depression, as individuals struggle to find joy and are trapped in a cycle of unfulfillment.
