I always had this fear of not being good enough or brave enough or smart enough. I struggle with every day tasks by questioning the way I’m doing it. I always have to cheer up and encourage myself so I can get thru the day. Which is funny to me because I do recognize the beauty in this world but not the beauty in me for some reason. Anyone feeling the same?

Yes I’m from Serbia very cool you know this. Actually my thoughts are more enabling in a way that I’m always question my capabilities even for small tasks such as cooking which gives me anxiety not so much depressive more debilitating and requiring more energy to get thru the day than people who don’t struggle with this.

@Greencindere Look around you! Who's perfect? Nobody is! So why do you think/feel that you have to be perfect?

@MALUSE exactly ! I ask myself that question everyday. My therapist says it’s because I never got real praise for achievements as a child so now I have to re-learn how to praise and accept that I’m doing a good job. We are all a work in progress . Thank you .

I am learning never to compare myself with the successes of other persons in my lifetime. I also realize that I need to think that I have to cheer myself up and do my best to work on being grateful for things I have and continue to work on my writing ability of sharing good news on this site.

I always think that I won't compare myself to others but I end up doing it!

@Greencindere Glad to, and I hope it works out for you. Never let life run you down. It's too short. Grab the bull by the horns and knock him to the ground. It's the only way.

Well, I have the burden of expectations from my parents. If I underperform, I feel bad for them.

I feel this way at times but I most often can realize that irs voices from my past recorded in my head telling me those things. I also believe comparison is the thief of joy and try hard not to do it. I try to get off my own back as much as I can. We are all only human after all and not perfect.
