I was watching the movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. It isn't really fastlane but it got serious for a moment and it really hit me emotionally. Just thinking about it literally makes my insides hurt. Here's the conversation:
"Do you ever get that feeling...
that you're not good enough
to get what you really want...
so you're too scared to try?"
-"All the time."
"Really?"
- "Like, all the time. It's terrifying."
"It is, it's terrifying."
- "Yeah."
"You're, like, stuck."
This is obviously my problem. Just read my threads and it is clear. But I never realized just how crippled by it I was until now.
I am at a point in my life where I have nothing but time. Yet I am frightened to start anything. I'm scared of failing. I do not know why I am scared. I just am.
I don't think I'm scared of people judging me or looking down on me. I almost feel scared of myself. Like I won't accomplish what I want in life and will be on my deathbed judging myself looking back on my utter failure of a life.
I don't know why I am telling you this. Maybe it's easier to type and hit send than actually talking emotionally in person. Maybe it's because I will always have this thread to look back on and figure my shit out. Maybe someone will feel the same way and not feel alone. Maybe someone will give some advice. I just felt like I needed to get this out in the open and maybe I'll figure out how to stop it. Fix it. Not feel this way..
