I used to have the most debilitating anxiety. Everything I did used to scare me and I think it was because I was so afraid of what people thought of me. I used to botch job interviews left and right because I would completely freeze up when they started asking those generic surveyed questions they all ask, and my response would be "uhhhhh I don't know" in a whispering voice. I was the same way in high school when the teacher called on me. It wasn't because I was dumb, it was because I was afraid to try. I was already made fun of daily, the last thing I wanted was to incorrectly answer and get laughed at again.
I will admit, going back to college, starting a new job or promoting within the company still gives me butterflies, but when it comes down to it, I feel much more confident and excited, no longer afraid and procrastinating until it is no longer an option. I am ready, are you?
