@TheGameGuy – Wow, I don’t feel so alone now. I too am so fearful of doing things wrong that I end up doing nothing – the cycle is neverending and I end up depressed and unsatisfied with myself.
Atychiphobia- is a Fear Of Failure — I believe I have this phobia as it is this fear that has allowed me to limit myself so much. In my case I believe it started in my childhood where GOOD was never good enough for my father. It caused my to set unreasonable standards for myself and to this day I am extremely hard on myself. People always point this out to me.
I remember getting 98% on a test in high school and being so elated yet when I showed my dad he was unimpressed and said I could do better. My confidence plumetted. I always tried to please my dad but he was never impressed with me. Never understood why I was never a Daddy’s girl so I tried showing him I could do guy stuff like my brother but he was even less impressed. I’ve struggled to be good enough for my father but I’VE ALWAYS FAILED. I’m no expert in the matter but I think it’s that fear of constant failure is embedded in my brain now.
