I'm scared

Posted by Edlus - August 10th, 2021


I'm going into college and I'm not happy, I know I should be but I'm not, I'm scared man, scared of everything, scared of not being able to get an internship, scared of not being good enough at art, of never being able to do what I want, I'm terrified. it's like everything is going in slow motion, time takes forever to pass and when it does I shiver, I'm just petrified by the future I want to do and be good, to officially become an adult but I'm also mortified of I dunno, a lot of things actually. I don't have a lot of reach which right now is good because not many people will see me in this pathetic state of mind I guess I just gotta do what I think is best and hope it goes well

A lot of people feel afraid when entering a new stage of their life, so don't think you're weird for that or alone on that. Have some faith in yourself, you made it this far in your life after all. This will just be business like usual at the end of the day, just under a new name. It'll be scary at first, but you'll adapt. You got this, believe in yourself

Maybe it is just the new step that's making me afraid I dunno, I just feel that now its for real like I won't have the no consequences net from school to fall back to

@Edlus Even if things don't go smoothly, it won't be the end of the world. Teachers and colleagues will all be there to help you should you need them. But that's if you need them. New steps are always scary, but you can do this. You're better than you think you are.

I can say that nobody my age really knows what they are doing with their life, even if they appear to. Everyone feels stressed now. What i'd do is keep your friends close, and talk. Build off of each others struggles and worries. (sounds weird, but the communication helped for me) And don't compare yourself to others, that fucks you up. This is your path. Keep your head up for the long road ahead man. It'll be ok.

ps - i know some absolute morons who ended up successful in life. Money, wife, children, house etc... you got talent, and a smart head. keep the fog out and it should go fine. hope my words helped.
