Good question, one thing (since we’re all humans.. i hope) we fear, is rejection. We all crave attention, and all want to have this feeling of importance. I have to say that is something i fear. i usually try to overcome that fear just by saying to myself (when i have a thought or bad feeling) “thanx for sharing” and i move on and do what i have to do anyway. It’s hard at first, but once you expand your comfort zone, it gets easier. It’s the small improvements that matters the most i think.

What about you Dave?

I know what you mean, i’m kinda perfectionist myself, and i like to feel i did my best. I won’t be happy till i’m satisfied and i feel i did my best. But usually when i feel a little on the down side and fear i didn’t do my best.. i try to compare my accomplishements with others (i usually don’t like to do this, and limit this to these types of situations) but it does help, just gotta keep in mind that the grass is not greener elsewhere. But sometimes it feels good to know you did “better” than other people, and sometimes it’s the opposite, i also like it when i meet someone who did better than me, so i can learn from him/her. I think it’s the small steps that are important. And when you feel you did not do your best, i think the thing to do is to ask other people what they think.

you’re welcome
