Do you second guess yourself frequently?

Especially in a job?
Or even just social interactions occasionally.

I have crippling self doubt and I'm trying to get a feel for if others experience it a little, a lot like me, or not much at all.

I second guess myself with numbers and when filling the forms. I have to check everything many times because I don't trust myself.

And of course, I get confused and have bad feelings from social interactions sometimes but I try to push it all away and not let it spoil my mood. Luckily, every awkward or unpleasant interaction fades away with time.

I can be socially awkward. But I have no friends, so less opportunity to be so.

I have confidence at work, since I know my stuff. Yet there is more that I do not know. Also, I am so worried about errors, typos, and bugs. I even proofread SW posts as if they were work e-mails!

Not necessarily second guess, as that connotes taking a different direction. Rather, I step and try and see things in perspective. More like a course correction.

Less now but i do a double and triple check routinely; especially at work. Which is really just accountability. In the moment, socially, its hard to do that; though.

On the job? No! That's my jam. Everything else, yeahhhhh.... The job is my safe space.

@GerOttman What do you do?

@Coralmist I run boilers and big machines that make a building work.
I do a little when I'm in public. It's awkward but I've learned to not care what people think so much.

That's me daily

Yes I do it quite a lot.

I think a certain amount is healthy. It should not be an obstacle.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@uncalled4 I don't have a healthy amount unfortunately. I'm working a lot on attacking toxic beliefs
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@Coralmist I'm right behind you on that

If I tell others you are beautiful,,,,,,,, I believe it to be true
