My Barriers to Learning TDD

As a follow up to my previous post declaring that I finally "get" TDD to some extent, I figured I'd reflect on the barriers that I have had up to this point which made it difficult for me to learn how to unit test in some effective manner as well as truly understanding the benefits of TDD practices. Now, I am by no means claiming to be an expert in unit testing, mocking, or TDD. I didn't open the refrigerator, drink some of the TDD-flavored Kool-Aid, and threw on a subsequent Mortarboard to illustrate that I've somehow graduated into this new, higher level of software development. I'm still learning from others as well as my own errors experiences just like everyone else. The purpose of this is to reveal to others some of the issues that I had and hopefully provide some insight on how to overcome such.
