im sure this happens to most of us, if not to all of us. indeed this has already been asked by someone. im gonna post this again anyway.
i know im a person who excel in many things. no im not assuming here, nor being boastful. i have had a lot of achievemtns. But i wasnt alwasy satisfied with the recognition that i receive in those that i excel in.
my friends, classmates, professors, relatives know that i do excel in many aspects. and they know, and they tell that to me sometimes, that i am better than many other persons. my problem is that i sometimes feel that i wast good enough. coz i think that i have not been the best in anything. i was always the second best.
do i expect too much for myself? am i not being secure in the things that i excel in?

Dont be perfectionist. Do your best in everything but dont expect it will come out best from others.
I am the same. You will overcome it as you get older i guess.

It is simply a matter of being your own worst critic--you seem to give this all too much thought--like who cares about what you do?? No one really cares--if you were a big screw up--then people would care--but you do a lot and that's what people expect---then that's it--YOU are thinking about all this and cannot seem to tell me why . Why are you so concerned with all these insecurities?? Even if you do fail---so what?? People fail--it is ok to fail. People who don't fail are NOT TRYING.....so live your life and be happy. Oh --if you want constant praise and recognition for stuff--forget it--no one gets all that praise. Just do the best you can and be happy
