【解析】
本文是说明文，作者关于如何停止自我怀疑提出了一些建议。
【1】
空前两个问句“如果我考试不及格怎么办?我的朋友和我在一起是因为他们为我感到难过吗?”都是自我怀疑的表现；选项F意思为：如果我永远搞不清楚我的人生目标怎么办？选项F也是自我怀疑的表现问句，是顺承前两句的话题。故选F项。
【2】
该段首句提到“战胜一切困难的第一步是意识到它”；下文说明只有当我们意识到我们在自我怀疑时，才能更快地阻止它。选项E意思为：这已经是朝着正确的方向迈出了一步。选项E中this指代上文的“当我们意识到我们在自我怀疑时，才能更快地阻止它。”故选E项。
【3】
该段的小标题是“休息一下”；选项C意思为：给自己时间思考。空后一句提到“问问自己是什么让你达到这个目标的”，是顺承选项E中的“think”的话题。故选C项。
【4】
分析文章结构，第二、三段都有小标题，并且都是祈使句形式；该空应该是该段的小标题；该段下文提到“我们必须摆脱那些告诉我们自我价值是被他人认可的枷锁”；选项B意思为：解放自己。选项B中“free”与下文中的“break free of”语义相同。因此“Free Yourself”可以作为该段的小标题。故选B项。
【5】
该段的主题是“寻求支持”；选项D意思为：独自做事情并不总是容易的，意即应该寻求支持。下文提到“从朋友那里寻求支持，浏览励志网站”，是对选项D的补充说明。故选D项。
