That’s what I understand here, and it used to work for me as an idea, but I can’t manage that anymore.
There’s a part of me these days that just doesn’t want me to be happy, so for every important thing I have to do, there’s a little voice in the back of my head insisting I don’t, or insisting I screw it up.
So I find myself in situations, usually in public speech, where I take a long pause, to hear the voices in my head fighting”do it, you have nothing to lose” and “don’t do it, it doesn’t matter anyway”. Then even if I would have liked to do it, I’m too embarrassed because I stopped, and end up feeling even worse about myself.
I honestly don’t understand why I’m so against being happy.
