I'm really struggling with this. I need to look over an essay draft today, but it's so difficult to face my potential shortcomings that I avoid it and avoid it. Even as a kid, I would hide my drawings from a few months ago out of terror that people would see them and think I'm a bad artist. Or be so anxious when I made a mistake on a school assignment that I couldn't bring myself to review the teacher's comments.

It sounds so stupid but it honestly holds me back so much.

Anyone relate?
