I think it is a bit more nuanced than that.

There are clearly differences between people who embrace the fact that they aren't perfect and thus are open to learning, and those who feel shame at not succeeding at something they consider themselves competent at.

Clearly its in the same genus as problems with addiction or habituated behavior but its a more easily overlooked.
