I've just realized I have some horrible, HORRIBLE unresolved perfectionist tendencies that are keeping me from getting the most out of my life.
I can't focus on writing a paper. I can't muster up the courage to hit on someone I find attractive. Blah blah etc. All because I'm worried about not doing a good enough job.
Why do I worry about not doing a good enough job? Because I feel like my parents and friends will be disappointed in me. And when I feel that others are disappointed in me, I literally feel pain. Like...literal PHYSICAL pain. And I end up just feeling sick, and I just can't survive that way.
But I also can't really survive by rejecting every opportunity that comes my way! I need to figure out a happy medium so that I can do more things with my life than I have been...
Any advice? ._.
