Starting a new job is scary and I agree that it's normal to feel like a 'failure' as you're ramping up. No one expects you to be a superstar right off the bat, so try not to be so down yourself. I hate starting new jobs for that very reason - having to prove yourself AGAIN and dealing with all the expectations (professional AND personal) can be really overwhelming. I've recently changed roles as well, so for me it's basically back to square one. While it's nice to have challenges like that, it's also very scary. The problem with me is that I NEVER feel confident - not matter how much positive feedback I get, I always feel like I'm not good enough, like I'm the dumbest person in the room. It's a shitty, shitty way to live life.

As for losing people, I'm in the same boat. Living 3000 miles away from 'home' makes it really hard to keep in touch and it's sad when I can only see people that matter most once or twice a year. I've lost some friends over the years go, so I know how difficult it can be, especially since it seems increasingly harder to make new friends. So now I've basically resorted to making friends on the internet hahahhaha (j/k.. mostly).

Anyway, thanks so much for your comment! It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who feels this way <3

Oh yeah, I remember reading about that on your blog. I was in a really scary accident when I was in high school. I wasn't driving when it happened, but it made me paranoid for a very long time. To this day I'm still not completely "over" it and sometimes get anxiety when someone else is driving.

I know there's certain wisdom that comes with age, but I was starting to think that was a myth, from personal experience haha. Glad to know there's hope still.

I think the older you get you either fear more things or finally fear nothing. I am slowing fearing nothing. I think currently I fear addition, without getting into specifics, this is what I fear.

These type of fears are scary than the Halloween style fear! I live with a lot of fear...and everyone tells me to QUIT IT! lol

I rarely ever drive around by myself for fun anymore because after witness some crazy scary accidents in WA. I just figure..if I don't need something..I'm not going to risk going! Does that sound completely stupid?! I need to get over the scary outside world. Sighh

I know what you mean about failing at life/job. I just started a new job 2 months ago and I already feel like I need to be the expert and be SOLID at it. And when I make mistakes on a daily basis I get really depressed and upset, wondering what is wrong with me that I can't get it right, and thinking "if I can't even send an email right, how can I ever move up and be more successful?!". I think it's natural to feel that way (at last, that's what I keep telling myself on a daily basis to keep from going insane).

I'm going through losing people too. I've been losing a lot of friends the past few years. Mostly because they move away, and fortunately I've been able to keep in touch with most of them. But lately I've actually lost a couple of friends because, for one reason or another, we just go our separate ways. And that's been really difficult for me to deal with.

*hugs*
