All Retards are Retarded...

You Catch My Drift??????????

I need to be able to believe in myself. I don't know if I ever had but it does not matter, all that matters is now. There are things out there that I want to do but I am too nervous to do, maybe I think too much, I don't know.

I feel like there is something inside me holding me back. I'll be fine too a point and then let's say I am about to do something and inside me I "hear," "they are all watching, don't look stupid, don't -blam!- up, you are not good enough."

I am not by any means a depressed person, it's just that I am sick of being like this, I think I may have always been or things in my life have caused me to do be so.

Any tips about how to get rid of this,

Sounds to me like you have no choice but to kill your subconscious.

I would recommend a brick.

Nervousness in general? Forget it, I'm pretty sure everyone suffers from the jitters. The trick is to activate your impulse drive and just do it. Also, being able to laugh at yourself is a wonderful tool.

Just watch Gurren Lagann and you'll be okay.

"There's this theory that if there were an infinite number of monkeys pecking away at typewriters, they would eventually write the great works of Shakespeare, but thanks to the internet we now know that's not true." -Adam Savage

"Time is not made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round." -Caboose

NOTE: This is my new primary account. My old account was AgentCOPP1, and I changed it because it was linked to a gamertag that I no longer use.

I know what you're talking about. It's really a problem with self-confidence than anything and you've got to have a good self-esteem to get over it. The problem most people have is that they are just so morbidly afraid of failing that they will never let themselves take risks that could actually end in success. Consequently, people will never succeed in the things that they want to because failure is just a horrible, unthinkable nightmare. You really need to change this view on failure, because it's both unrealistic and detrimental. You need to think of failure as the steps towards success.

Without failure, there is no success. That is a fact of life. Disagree with me all you want, but it is self-evident in every successful individual to ever roam the earth (given that their success is due to their own hard work).

You need to think of failure as progress. Until you fully and whole-heartedly believe that to be true, you'll never get over your problem. I can't really give you an instruction book that tells you how to change your way of thinking. You've just got to do it yourself.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Believing in yourself is a joke. It is like believing you will stop smoking yet you don't because you don't do anything about it.

Don't create some long, drawn out though process. Simply commence an action in a manner that seems fit for the situation and location.

I dunno...I succeeded at birth pretty well.

Take action and eventually you'll figure out what your doing. Worked good enough for me.

Don't get into the whole "Oh god I'm so nervous mentality.", get into a "I'm going to do this, right here, right now, and nothing is going to change that." one. You mess up, forget about the failure. Laugh it off and figure out how you can do better. Everyone -blam!-s up, not everyone learns from it.
Just never only focus on the failure. That'll screw you up, a lot.

What about when everything seems to fail around you even when you change what you did or what happens the next time? I'm talking several changes not just 5-10 more like 20 and more.

Everybody can only take so much disappointment before they quit, Even those who are successful. Eventually they will quit trying to change what they do because nothing will work out.

Believing in yourself really matters too two things.
1. Your status
2. Your environment.

If you're born in the ghetto and raised their you're only going to know what ghetto life is. Breaking this is hard but anybody can do it. Status and environment are the keys to anybody and how they think.

Remember, grammar is the difference between; "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse." And "I helped my uncle jack off a horse."
Hyperlinks, you know you want to click 'em

Don't think about it to much just do it. I know that sounds stupid, but I have the same problem, the more thought I put into something the more I feel I can't do it, that same attitude prevented me from a handful of experiences, like playing Tennis in high school for one. In fact I'm actually surprised at how much I've progressed with guitar, I mean
I still suck, but I've gotten a lot better.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

This. Do not focus on the bad things. It could drive you insane. Try doing new things that you think you'd enjoy. Take some risks too and never over think things. Over thinking will mess you up alot too.

Also if you find your mind wondering off catch yourself. The sooner you do the better you'll be.

Don't think about it. And remember, even if you -blam!- up, people won't judge you nearly as much as you do yourself.

You have to find a reason to believe in myself. Find something that gets rid of your insecurities with other people for the time being. Some people do it through sports, drinking, going to amusement parks, whatever, anything that lets you forget what you're afraid of. There still will be some fear, but then you need to take risks. Gotta force yourself out of your comfort zone.
