I am extremely afraid of failing. I have all these big plans for myself. I made them at least a year ago. Now, I'm not sure I can do them. I planned to become a lawyer and live here forever but they were a little girls' dreams! Now, everyone thinks I'm soooo smart, which I am mostly. I mean, I'm not stupid but now my parents are planning law school and bar exams.. I don't know If I can do all of that anymore. I mean I could argue about anything and win, and I am reasonably smart and I have logic and common sense and all of that. But everyone thinks i'm going to have 'the life' - you know what I mean - Perfect Job, Perfect Husband, Perfect kids, Beautiful wedding, golden anniversary .. all of it. I can't do it! I'm so afraid I'll end up some loser living at her parents house until they die then she has the house but no job until she finally dies of liver failure from her alcohol problem! (I don't have one right now , in case you were wondering). I'm jusr worried, What should I do?
Answer:
If you don't give yourself a chance to fail, you'd never learn how to progress, change and grow more fully.
For a 13-year-old, you seem extremely bright and wise above your years. Congrats on that. :)
But remind yourself that trying to be perfect is the surest way to dying. Been there, done that.
You'd figure out what to do eventually. Just got to listen to your heart. :)
there are probably medications to help with this
I hate to tell you..but you've already failed at some things..and will fail at more things in the future..
